 F C Gm Dm C F C 
        
 Dm C/G 
   
 Bb A Dm Dm/C G Bb/D Bb F 
         
 F            C  
  So much depends
                      Gm   
 On first loves and friends
            Dm C 
 Legs for a table
 F                C  
 I, I painted my room
                     Gm 
 With judgments and doom
                  Dm C/G 
 But I still ain't able
     Bb             A  
 To sleep, got to sleep
      Dm            Dm/C         G  
 And dream up some dreams I can keep
   Bb/D Bb                F  
 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
 
 F                 C  
 I was walking at dawn
                       Gm 
 When something turned on
                 Dm  C 
 But I couldn't name it
    F               C  
 So I, I went back home
            Gm 
 I did it alone
                 Dm  C/G 
 But I couldn't claim it
    Bb            A  
 I tried, yes I tried
    Dm        Dm/C      G  
 I tried honey I was denied
   Bb/D Bb                F  
 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
 
      Dm                                      
 Well everything becomes much more meaningless
                F 
 As time passes by
      Dm                                            
 So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn
       Bb                          C 
 So I can't look the world in the eye
 
 F                 C  
 I heard you were well
                   Gm 
 I heard that you fell
               Dm C 
 Back on your feet
      F                 C  
 Well me, I'm still in fear
               Gm  
 I planted her here
                Dm  C/G 
 Right in the street
     Bb             A   
 To sleep, so she sleeps
      Dm            Dm/C           G   
 And dreams with the orphans and freaks
   Bb/D Bb                F  
 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
 
      F                 C  
 Now talk, talk it is cheap
               Gm  
 I talk in my sleep
                Dm C 
 I know what to say
    F                     C  
 I said, I said you were wise
                  Gm 
 To let go of my eyes
              Dm C/G 
 And push me away
     Bb            A 
 And run, yes you run
     Dm       Dm/C           G  
 You run honey nothing gets done
   Bb/D Bb                F  
 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
 
     Dm                                            F   
 But all that I've learned it must be a chemical change
       Dm                                               
 After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker
       Bb                       C  
 Who's taking his lies to the grave
 
 F           C  
 I wasn't myself
               Gm 
 I was nobody else
                 Dm C 
 That I couldn't be
       F               C 
 Like you were nobody too
             Gm                 F C/G 
 To somebody who's exactly like me
     Bb              A  
 So sleep, let her sleep
      Dm           Dm/C          G  
 And dream up the dreams we can keep
   Bb/D Bb                 F 
 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
