| Song: | (�Your� in the 3rd line should be a D, but the harp doesn�t play that low. I didn�t want to tab this song an octave higher.) Verse: 1 -1 2 -2 -2 -2 I was a quick wet boy -2 -2� 2 -1 2 2 Div-ing too deep for coins -1 1 1 1 1 1 All of your street light eyes 1 -1 2 -1 -1 -1 Wide on my plas-tic toys (repeat above to complete the verse) And when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair Stole me a dog-eared map And called for you everywhere Chorus: -2 -2 -4 -4 5 Have I found you? -4 5 -4 4 Flight-less bird -3� (or 4) 4 -3 -3 Jea- lous, weep-ing -4 4 4 -4 5 Have I lost you? -4 -4 5 5 -4 4 A- me-ri-can mouth 4 4 -3 Big pill looming Verse: Now I�m a fat house cat Nursing my sore blunt tongue Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide fence cracks Pissing on magazine photos Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream Chorus: Have I found you? Flightless bird, grounded bleeding Or lost you? American mouth Big pill, stuck going down |
