Capo 1

G5                C5
Foals in winter coats
                    A5
White girls of the North,
F5               C5
File past one, five and one,
               C5
They are the fabled lambs 
     D5
a Sunday ham ,
             A5
the ancient snow

                 G5               C5
And they could float above the grass
               G5    
in circles if they tried
    F5              C5
A latent power I know they hide

              C5      
To keep some hope alive
        D5         
that a girl like I
           A5
could ever try,
            G5
Could ever try

   E5                         D5
So we just skirt the hallway sides
                 E5
A phantom and a fly
E5           C5                D5    
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection

G5                  C5
A week of rolling eyes,
                          A5
and cheap shots from the trite,

F5                                 C5
And we're off to Nemarca's porch again,
           C5
Another afternoon
            D5
with the goathead tunes,
      A5
And pilfered booze.

             G5                   C5
We wander through her mamma's house
                   G5
The milk from the window lights
         F5             C5
Family portrait circa '95

              C5
This is that foreign land 
        D5         
of the sprayed-on tans
                  A5
And it all feels fine
              G5
Be it silk or slime

E5                             D5
So, when they tap our Monday heads
                  E5
To zombie-walk in our stead,
E5               C5                 D5    
This town seems hardly worth our time

     E5        C5                  D5
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                       E5
Too far along in our climb

           E5             C5             D5
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection


G5     C5               D5
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat 4x)


   E5                         D5
So when they tap our Sunday heads
                 E5
To zombie-walk in our stead,
 E5               C5                 D5    
This town seems hardly worth our time

    E5         C5                  D5
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                       E5
Too far along in our crime,

           E5            C5             D5
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection


G5     C5               D5
Oooh waooooooo waooooooo
(repeat to fade 8x)
