Flightless Bird, American Mouth Iron & Wine
This is all very simple. The whole song follows this same pattern: Am, C, F, G. It's
on the 3rd fret, and these chords are relative to the capo.
It's 3/4 timing, like a waltz, so strum appropriately. Each chord gets exactly 4
and this does not change.
Verse 1:
I was a q[C]uick wet boy
Diving too d[Am]eep for coins
All of your [F]straight blind eyes
Wide on my[G] plastic toys
And when the [C]cops closed the fair
I cut my l[Am]ong baby hair
Stole me a [F]dog-eared map
And called for you[G] everywhere
Chorus:
Have I f[C]ound you?
Flightless [Am]bird, j[F]ealous, w[G]eeping
[C]Or lost you?
[Am]American mouth
[F]Big bill l[G]ooming
Verse 2:
Now Iā??m a[C] fat house cat
Cursing my s[Am]ore blunt tongue
Watching the [F]warm poison rats
Curl through the w[G]ide/white fence cracks
Kissing on [C]magazine photos
Those [Am]fishing lures thrown in the [F]cold and clean
Blood of Christ[G] mountain stream
Chorus:
[C]Have I found you?
[Am]Flightless bird, [F]brown hair [G]bleeding
[C]Or lost you?
[Am]American mouth
[F]Big bill, [G]still going down
