Fruits Of My Labor by Lucinda Williams
Fruits Of My Labor
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 any day over the fame
Am C
Baby, sweet baby

Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windows to
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Light from shining through
Baby, I remember all the things we did
When we slept together
In the blue behind your eyelids
Baby, sweet baby
Traced your scent through the gloom
'Til I found these purple flowers
I was spent, I was soon
Smelling you for hours
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
Water the dirt, flowers last for you, baby
Sweet baby
Tangerines and persimmons
And sugarcane
Grapes and honeydew melon
Enough fit for a queen
Lemon trees don't make a sound
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground, baby
Sweet baby
Come to my wolrd and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out of La Grange
Got my Mercury and drove out west
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test, baby
Sweet baby
I been tryin' to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I been cryin' for you, boy
But truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby
If it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
I been tryin' to enjoy
All the fruits of my labor
I been cryin' for you, boy
But truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby
If it's all the same
Take the glory any day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
