Intro
C Am7 C(palm mute)
C Am7
Lay low little babe
C Am7
You're still my precious child
C Am7
You're all old and grown now
C Am7
But you're still the same inside
F Am7
Standin' on the whippgrass
Standin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
E
Watch and see how we last
C Am7
You're not alone tonight, babe
C Am7
You're not so far from your home
C Am7
You got the strength of all us, babe
C Am7
I give a prayer unknown(?)
F Am7
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Just sittin' on the whippgrass
E
I'm so full
and this is so vast
C Am7 F7
I know we'll all be together, babe
C Am7
Someday, somehow
C Am7
Carry to a higher bound, babe
C Am7
It's not a sight or a sound
C Am7
Smokin' around
C Am7
It's within me somehow
C Am7
I'll carry to what I am bound
C Am7
The truth that I have found
F Am7
Standin' on the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
E
See how it lasts

Lay low little babe
You're still my precious child
You're all old and grown now
But you're still the same inside
Standin' on the whippgrass
Standin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Watch and see how we last
You're not alone tonight, babe
You're not so far from your home
You got the strength of all us, babe
I give a prayer unknown(?)
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Sittin' on the whippgrass
Just sittin' on the whippgrass
I'm so full
and this is so vast
I know we'll all be together, babe
Someday, somehow
Carry to a higher bound, babe
It's not a sight or a sound
Smokin' around
It's within me somehow
I'll carry to what I am bound
The truth that I have found
Standin' on the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
It moves along the whippgrass
See how it lasts
