Eb Eb
I was a quick, wet boy,
Cm Cm
Diving too deep for coins
Ab Ab
All of your street light eyes,
Bb Bb
Wide on my plastic toys
Eb Eb
And when the cops closed the fair
Cm Cm
I cut my long baby hair
Ab Ab
Stole me a dog-eared map
Bb Bb
And called for you everywhere


Eb Eb
Have I found you?
Cm Cm Ab Ab Bb Bb
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Eb Eb
Or lost you?
Cm Cm
American mouth
Ab Ab Bb Bb
Big pill, looming


Eb Eb
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cm Cm
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Ab Ab
Watching the warm poison rats
Bb Bb
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Eb Eb
Pissing on magazine
Cm Cm
Photos those fishing lures
Ab Ab
Thrown in the cold and clean
Bb Bb
Blood of Christ mountain stream


Eb Eb
Have I found you?
Cm Cm Ab Ab Bb Bb
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
Eb Eb
Or lost you?
Cm Cm
American mouth
Ab Ab Bb Bb ...Eb
Big pill stuck going down

I thought the same thing about the Ab cord! It was totally wrong.
Turns out I was just reading the tab wrong....
That lil 3 means 3rd fret.
PLay it like that and it works.

Really nice tab, sounds great when plucking the chords using the C string then adding the last two strings E&A as a pair at the end. Example: C EA EA C EA EA...
