C F
It had something to do with the rain
F C G
leeching loamy dirt
C F
and the way the back lane came alive
F C G
half moon whispered "go"
F G C F
for a while I heard you missing steps in the street
F G C F
and your anger pleading in an uncertain key
F C F
singing the sound of you that you found for me
C F
When the winter took the tips of my ears
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
found this noisy home
C F
full of pigeons and places to hide
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
and when the voices die
C F
I emerged to watched abandoned machines
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
waiting for their men
C F
to return, I remember the way
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
I would wait for you
F G C F
to arrive with kibble and a box full of beer
F G C F
how I'd scratch the empties desperate to hear
F// // F (2 fr.)
you make the sound that you found for me
F (2 fr.) ////// C (2 fr.) ////// G (2 fr.) ////// Am(II) //////
(This is played for the next stanza as well)
After scrapping with the ferals and the tabby
let you brush my matted fur
how I'd knead into your chest while you were sleeping
shallow breathing made me purr
F C G Am
But I can't remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
I can't remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
I can't remember the sound
F-C-G-Am 2x
F-G-C-F 2x
F // // C ~~~~
