[Intro 1]
[D][Asus4][D][Bm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[D]Now [Asus4]that I've[A]
[D]used up [G]all my [D]ideas[Asus4][D]
[F]Here [D]in [Am]my little ho[D]use by the s[G]ea
[Em]I search for a [D]usable [A]memory [Asus4]but
[D]none [Bm]comes to me
[D]

[Verse 2]
In grade [A]one,
[D]my teacher [G]could do em[D]balming
[F]She'd [D]stuff [Am]the bodies of [D]dead little [G]birds
She [Em]told us if [D]ever we [A]found one,
just to [D]bring it to her
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
And [F]in the science room was an [A]iguana[Em]
[A]It [F]lay very [Em]still [E]in [B]its cag[E]e
And we'd [Bm]feed [G]him living flies

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[D]Then [A]she'd [Asus4]read[D]
the old [G]testament [D]to us
But [F]first [D]she'd re[Am]mind us
[D]the stories were [G]true
And [Em]we'd hear of [D]locusts and [A]plagues
and the [D]tortures [Bm]they knew

[Verse 5]
[F]
And in the science room was an [A]iguana[Em]
[F]I remember it now i[Em]n[E]
my house by the [Bm]seaside
[A]Swa[G]tting flies
[C]
