Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Verse 1:
I was a q[G]uick wet boy
Diving too d[Em]eep for coins
All of your [C]straight blind eyes
Wide on my[D] plastic toys
And when the [G]cops closed the fair
I cut my l[Em]ong baby hair
Stole me a [C]dog-eared map
And called for you[D] everywhere
Chorus:
Have I f[G]ound you?
Flightless [Em]bird, j[C]ealous, w[D]eeping
[G]Or lost you?
[Em]American mouth
[C]Big bill l[D]ooming
Verse 2:
Now Iā??m a[G] fat house cat
Cursing my s[Em]ore blunt tongue
Watching the [C]warm poison rats
Curl through the w[D]ide fence cracks
p**sing on [G]magazine photos
Those [Em]fishing lures thrown in the [C]cold and clean
Blood of Christ[D] mountain stream
Chorus:
[G]Have I found you?
[Em]Flightless bird, [C]brown hair [D]bleeding
[G]Or lost you?
[Em]American mouth
[C]Big bill, [D]still going down...
