Cry Cry Cry Lord I Have Made You A Place in My Heart by Greg Brown
Lucy Kaplansky harmony
Richard Shindell harmony
Dar Williams Lead vocal
Cliff Eberhardt guitar
Mike Rivard bass
D C G
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart
A Bm
Among the rags and the bones and the dirt.
D C G
There's piles of lies, the love gone from her eyes,
A D
And old moving boxes full of hurt.
C G D
Pull up a chair by the trouble and care.
C G A
I got whiskey, you're welcome to some.
D C G
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart,
A D
But I don't reckon you're gonna come.
D C G
I've tried to fix up the place, I know it's a disgrace,
A Bm
You get used to it after a while -
D C G
With the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out
A D
With their IOU's nad their smiles.
C G D
Bare naked women keep coming in
C G A
And they dance like you wouldn't believe.
D C G
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart,
A D
So take a good look - and then leave.
SOLO
D C G
Oh Lord, why does the Fall get colder each year?
A Bm
Lord, why can't I learn to love?
D C G
Lord, if you made me, it's easy to see
A D
That you all make mistakes up above.
C G D
But if I open the door, you will know I'm poor
C G A
And my secrets are all that I own.
D C G
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart
A D
And I hope that you leave it alone.
