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
