Intro

vamp on Dm / atonal improv


Verse 1

         Dm      Dmmaj7      Dm7      Dm6      Dm - E7
I run my fingers through her blackish blondish hair

        Dm    Dmmaj7     Dm7      Dm6       Dm               A7
Look into her brown blue eyes and touch her skin so dark and fair

D7 - G7 - C - (C7)

          Dm      Dmmaj7 Dm7  Dm6     Dm     E7 
Because I like how she encourages and scolds me

         Dm     Dmmaj7    Dm7    Dm6 Dm                A7
How even as her left hand pushes me away her right arm holds me

Fm - (chromatic walk B to D) - C+(#5)


Chorus

F      C       Am         Dm     Gm                    A7
  It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends

        F             C         Am           Dm           Gm           C      Am
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Dm    Gm           C      F          (chromatic walk A to D)
Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend


Interlude

vamp on Dm / atonal improv


Verse 2

        Dm      Dmmaj7    Dm7    Dm6     Dm    E7
I can't tell if she would rather take or leave me

            Dm        Dmmaj7 Dm7     Dm6        Dm            A7
And I'm not sure what I'm saying but I'm sure I want her to believe me

D7 - G7 - C - (C7)


-- This part is basically Dm with a descending chromatic line; strum every beat --

            Dm      Dmmaj7      Dm7      Dm6      Dm(5)    Dm11    Dm       Dm9        Dm
So I run my fingers through her blackish blondish brownish reddish grayish (grayish?!) hair

    Dmmaj7   Dm7     Dm6   Dm               A7                  
And tell her I won't mess around with other girls unless they're

Fm - (chromatic walk B to D) - C+(#5)
her


Chorus

F      C       Am         Dm     Gm                    A7
  It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends

        F             C         Am           Dm           Gm           C      Am
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Dm    Gm           C      F          (chromatic walk A to G)
Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend


Bridge

Gm         Gmmaj7      Gm7            Gm6       Eb          F         Bb
    Though I'm no more boy scout than boyfriend I could see tying the knot

Eb    Cm            Gm             Eb           Dbsus4     Db
    Instead it's my hands that are tied because that'd be against the law 

(chromatic tremolo from D to F?)
even in Utah


Final Chorus


F    C       Am         Dm     Gm                    A7
It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends

        F             C         Am           Dm           Gm                     A7
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little patchwork girl-friend-

  F      C             Am   Dm       Gm                A7
She's anywhere I could ever go ain't no false start or dead end

           F        C         Am                Dm         Gm           C      Am
That could take me away from, couldn't bring me back to my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

Dm    Gm         C      Am
Or my big bitter patchwork girlfriend

Dm    Gm           C      Bbm -> Bbm
Or my sweet little patchwork girlfriend

(chromatic walks to F)
