        C5
I was a quick wet boy
           A5
Diving too deep for coins
            F5
All of your street light eyes
           G5
Wide on my plastic toys
             C5
And when the cops closed the fair
         A5
I cut my long baby hair
               F5
And stole me a dog-eared map
                  G5
And called for you everywhere


       C5           A5     
Have I found you?  Flightless bird
F5         G5          
Jealous,  weeping or
C5          A5
Lost you?  American mouth
F5        
Big pill, 
G5
Looming



(*Slow soft strumming through to the end*)

          C5
Now I'm a fat house cat
           A5
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
             F5
Watching the warm poison rats
                 G5
Curl through the wide fence cracks
           C5
Pissin' on magazine 
              A5                          
Photos, those fishing lures, thrown in the 
F5              
Cold and clean blood of Christ
G5           
Mountain stream


       C5           A5 
Have I found you?  Flightless bird
F5         G5
Grounded, bleeding or
C5          A5
Lost you?  American mouth
F5         G5          C5
Big pill, stuck going down, 


A5 F5 G5
Oooh..... 
C5 A5 F5 G5
Oooh.... 
C5 A5 F5 G5 
Oooh...
C5 A5 F5  G5  C5 -once 
Oooh....


Have fun:)
