C
It was Cinco de Mayo
       Em
Pillow case on his head
   C
No more breathing time
Em
An ambulance sped
C
It sped round every corner
Em
Calling out his name

Chorus
Am
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
G
Sat and watched in the summer corn row
Am
Ate icecream in a desert dream
G
Got love in father seeing you
Am
Too hot inside to hot outside
G                                     Am
Lazy days when you said just go for a ride

We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
G
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

C, Em, C, Em

C                    Em
Tim and tina were my parents' names
    C                 Em
They got engaged they were inflamed
  C                   Em
Seduced by the lie of butterflies
         C                
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
      Em
Those butterflies

   C              Em
We seven kids, we almost died
C
Nearly put to death
    Em
But lightning strike
   C
Instead there was hot pink
        Em
Flashes in the sky
   C
We climb the rocks in snowing rain
   Em                      C
In search of magic power
   Em
To heal our mother's pain

C, Em, C, Em

Chorus

Am
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
G
Sat and watched in the summer corn row
Am
Ate icecream in a desert dream
G
Got love in father seeing you
Am
Too hot inside to hot outside
G                                     Am
Lazy days when you said just go for a ride

We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
G
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade

Repeat Chorus
