Orange Crate Art

(Van Dyke Parks)

Intro: instrumental over verse chords

Verse 1:

Orange crate art was a place to start

Orange crate art was a world apart

Ab /F Bb/D /Bb Eb Abm6

Home for two with view of Sonoma

Where there's aroma and heart

Cb9+5 Bb13 Eb6

Memories of her orange crate art

Verse 2:

Orange crate table and a rockin' chair

Barnyard gate waiting some repair

Trust in late and sweet inspiration

You could go bust to replace

Just what is here by the case

Eb G13 Db9-5 C9

Hear the lonesome locomotion roar

Cb9+5 Bb9 G7+5 C9 F7+5 Bb9

Hobo hop on if you dare

Eb G13 Db9-5* C9

And it rolls where grapes of wrath are stored

Cb9+5 Bb9 Eb

Stops on a bracero's prayer

* Db9 during instrumental repeat

Verse 3:

From the vine of a vintage cru

Comes the wine of this rendezvous

Room for two in view of Sonoma

Back when Ramona had heart

Memories of her orange crate art
