Fruits Of My Labor

• G

Capo 1


      G
Baby, see how I been living
       Am                      C
Velvet curtains on the windows to
         G
Keep the bright and unforgiving
   Am                 C
Light from shining through
      G                        C
Baby, I remember all the things we did
     G                              C
When we slept together and the blue behind your eyelids
Am          C
Baby, sweet baby

              G
Traced your scent through the gloom
         Am                   C
'Til I found these purple flowers
        G
I was spent, I was soon
   Am               C 
Smelling you for hours
G          C
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
G               C
Water the dirt, flowers last for you
Am    C
Baby, sweet baby

         G
Tangerines and persimmons
    Am              C
And sugarcane
      G
Grapes and honeydew melon
      Am             C
Enough fit for a queen
  G                   C
Lemon trees don't make a sound
     G                        C
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Am     C
Baby, sweet baby


Harmonica

        G
Come to my world and witness
    Am               C
The way things have changed
        G
'Cause I finally did it, baby
  Am                C
I got out of La Grange
       G              C
Got in my Mercury and drove out west
       G                  C
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
Am    C
Baby, sweet baby

       G
I been tryin' to enjoy
       Am                C
All the fruits of my labor
       G
I been cryin' for you boy 
    Am              C
But truth is my savior
      G                  C
Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same
        G                C
Take the glory and day over the fame
Am    C
Baby, sweet baby
