*CAPO ON 4*

(*I single strum the entire 1st

verse and 1st chorus*)

C
I was a quick wet boy
Am
Diving too deep for coins
F
All of your street light eyes
G
Wide on my plastic toys
C
And when the cops closed the fair
Am
I cut my long baby hair
F
And stole me a dog-eared map
G
And called for you everywhere

C Am
Have I found you? Flightless bird
F G
Jealous, weeping or
C Am
Lost you? American mouth
F
Big pill,
G
Looming

(*Slow soft strumming through to the end*)

C
Now I'm a fat house cat
Am
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
F
Watching the warm poison rats
G
Curl through the wide fence cracks
C
Pissin' on magazine
Am
Photos, those fishing lures, thrown in the
F
Cold and clean blood of Christ
G
Mountain stream

C Am
Have I found you? Flightless bird
F G
Grounded, bleeding or
C Am
Lost you? American mouth
F G C
Big pill, stuck going down,

Am F G
Oooh.....
C Am F G
Oooh....
C Am F G
Oooh...
C Am F G C -once
Oooh....
