Soundtrack and it's so good!  Complete and total awesomeness!!  
Can't wait for the movie!!

original song is with a capo on 3.  Also, this version is 
longer by 23 seconds**)



Standard Tuning w/
*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....


Have fun:)
