Fitz and the Dizzyspells
(from the album Noble Beast by Andrew Bird)


Intro: A, D, E, D, A, D, E


           A
Comes and goes
          D
Like in fits and dizzy spells
              A      D
Like the weather
         A
And it blows
          D
Like it knows what’s going wrong
             A      D
Like it’s clever
         E    D
Has a name, ohh
                        E     D
but the name goes unspoken
           E     D
Weather vanes, ohh
                         E     E7
Were all twisted and broken


                        A      A7   D 
So soldier on, soldier on
         A      A7   D
Soldier on
         A      A7   D
Soldier on


   A                       Adim7          D
Flailing to the whir of a snack machine
                         E
And muted screams of an old regime
          D      E
And then oh
                   D      E
Something gets in it
                        D      E
The nightshade gets in it
         D           E
We were all fast asleep
      D              E
Were all so fast asleep
         F#m
But you woke us
     F                    C
You woke us from the strangest dream
         B
that an aubergine
      F       E
could ever know
      F       E
Would ever know
      F                E
Would ee-ee-ee-ever know


(Whistling solo, play these chords…)
A, D, A, D, A, D, A, D
E, D, E, D, E, D, E, E7


       A           D       
Lava flows over crooks
                           A       D
and craggy cliffs to the ocean
        A           F#m
And explodes in a steam 
                       Esus4      Dmaj7
heat fevered cyclical motion
       E      D
Has a name
                       E       D
But the name goes unspoken
          E       D
It’s in vain
                          E       E7
Cause the language is broken


                             A       A7   D
So cast your own, cast your own
           A      A7   D
Cast your own
         A      A7   D
Soldier on
                     A      A7   D
Soldier on, soldier on
