Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]She lives in thi[Dm]s this house over there
[C]Has her world outsid[Dm]e it
[C]Scrabbles in the Ear[Dm]th
with her [C]fingers and her mouth
[Dm]She's five years old
[C]Threads worms on a str[Dm]ing
[C]Keeps spiders in her[Dm] pocket
[C]Collects fly wings in a j[Dm]ar
[C]Scrubs horse flies and[Dm],

[Chorus 1]
and pinches them on a line
[C]Oh [F]Oh[C][F]
[C]Oh [F]Oh[C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]She has one fri[Dm]end, he lives next door
[C]They're listening to the[Dm] weather
[C]He knows how many [Dm]freckles she's got
[C]She scratches his[Dm] beard
[C]She's painting hug[Dm]e books
[C]And glues the[Dm]m together
[C]They saw a big rav[Dm]en
[C]It glided down the[Dm] sky

[Chorus 2]
She touched
[C](it)
[F]Oh [C]Oh[F]
[C]Oh [F]Oh[C][F]

[Interlude 1]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[C]Today is her bir[Dm]thday
[C]They're smoking[Dm] cigars
[C]He's got a cha[Dm]in of flowers
[C]And sews a bir[Dm]d in her knickers

[Chorus 3]
[C]Oh [F]Oh[C][F]
[C]Oh [F]Oh[C][F]

[Verse 4]
[C][Dm]
[C]They're smoking cig[Dm]ars
[C]They lie in [Dm]the bathtub
[C]A chain of [Dm]flowers

[Outro 1]
[C]Tam, tam, tam, tam, tam-[Dm]tam-tam, tam
Tam, tam, tam
[C]Tam, tam, tam, tam, tam-[Dm]tam-tam, tam
Tam, tam, tam, [C]tam
