Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine
----------------------------------- Iron and Wine Flightless Bird, American Mouth ----------------------------------- Capo III C am F G (walk up to C) [in a nice 6/8 gait] I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins All of your street light eyes, wide on my plastic toys And when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map And called for you everywhere Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, wee-ee-ping Or lost you? American mouth Big bill loo-ming Now I'm a fat house cat Nursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide fence cracks Pissing the magazine photos Those fishing lures Thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Have I found you? Flightless bird, Grounded Bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big bill, Stuck going down [oooh-ooh's with chords] ------------------------------------------------------ comments to: beroe at mac dot com thanks to gary sokolow for lyric fixes
