[Verse 1]
Well, [C]this is called
Rice
Birds.
This is a song that I kind of wrote
about special people
and places in kind [G]of southwest
[C]Louisiana,
and it turned out
OK, I hope.
And you know, it's a pretty good one,
if I do say so myself.
which I really should[F]n't, but
[C]I...

[C][G][C][F][C][F][C]
I was thinking of you when
the rice [F]birds [C]flew
When the false dawn came
[F]with the morning [C]dew
You're [G]a thunderstorm raging
outside [F]my garage
You're the [C]white shirt peeking through my [F]camou
[C]flage[F][C][F][C]
[G][C][F][C][F][C]
Well, I was thinkin' of you
and [F]I won't forget
[C]Tale of a turtle and bio[F]tech I[C]
[G]cannot dance but I can[C] han[F]g on
To [C]some sweet memory down in
[F]Oberlin[C]
[G]I was t[C]hinkin' of you at the
[F]Mardi
[C]Gras
Fords and
Chevys like I [F]never [C]saw
I wish you [G]were there to dance [Am]with [F]me
And to [C]hear that

Well, I was thinkin' of you at the
[F]L .A. b[C]ar
Where I got so drunk I couldn't [F]drive [C]my car
I [G]was dreamin' about you with
my ten [C]-house [F]beer
Dreamin' [C]sweet daydreams wishin' [F]you
were here [C]I was thinking of you with the braid
[F]s i[C]n your hair it was down in
Houston could have [F]been anywhere [C]I was
[G]dreaming about you in my [Am]changing
[F]And I [C]still think about you
[F]in my travelin' [C]days[F][C]
I was thinkin' of you where
the sun[F]set glows
[C]Down the old
Mississippi where the [F]gulf wind
[C]blows I [G]was dreamin' about
you in the [C]florida [F]leaves
I was [C]wishing you were
nex[F]t to me.
