Flightless Bird, American Mouth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I was a [Eb]quick wet boy
[Bb]Diving too [Cm]deep for coins
[Gm]All of your [Ab]straight light eyes
Wide on [Bb]my plastic toys
Then when the [Eb]cops closed the fair
[Bb]I cut my lon[Cm]g baby hair
[Gm]Stole me a [Ab]dog eared map
And called for [Bb]you everywhere

[Chorus 1]
Have [Eb]I found you?
[Cm]Flightless bird, [Ab]jealous, [Bb]weeping
[Eb]Or lost you?
A[Cm]merican mouth
[Ab]Big bill l[Bb]ooming

[Verse 2]
Now I'm a [Eb]fat house cat
[Bb]Cursing my [Cm]sore blunt tongue
[Gm]Watching the [Ab]warm poison rats
Curl through [Bb]the wide fence cracks
Pissing on [Eb]magazine [Bb]photos
[Cm]Those fishing lures
[Gm]thrown in the [Ab]cold and clean
Blood of [Bb]Christ mountain stream

[Chorus 2]
Have [Eb]I found you?
[Cm]Flightless bird, [Ab]brown hair [Bb]bleeding
[Eb]Or lost you?
A[Cm]merican mouth
[Ab]Big bill s[Bb]tuck going
