Slow strumming the whole way through...really easy to play!!

Verse 1:
D
Wine bottle why are you weary?
    E                  D
And why are my eyes so grey?
D
Semi-circle people are pointing
    E                 D
And staring up to the sky

Chorus:
        G
And the dogs are all gone
       D
And my muesli is mouldy
        G                                D
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
        G                           D
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
  E                                           D
I swear if you listen you might just hear our song

Verse 2:
D
TV light flickers so fiercely
E                           D
Bridging the gap between my eyes
D
Outside the rain is tapping my window
E                               D
A jet trail left hanging in the sky

Chorus:
        G                   D
And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
         G                         D
Then the pavements lead to another place
     G
With one ear to the west
         D
And then ocean beside me
  E                                           D
I swear if you listen you could just hear our song
E                                             D
Electric sensations will not stay with us for long

D
Wine bottle why are you weary?
    E                  D
And why are my eyes so grey?
D
Semi-circle people are pointing
    E                 D
And staring up to the sky


Chorus:
        G
And the dogs are all gone
       D
And my muesli is mouldy
        G                                D
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
        G                           D
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
  E                                           D
I think if you listen you might just hear our song
E                                           D
Eclectic sensations will not be with us for long
