[Verse 1]
Em C How can I fly with these old doggy wings G D While the magpies sing some shiny song Em C Old cornface row of teeth she says sweetly to me G D In the elevator
[Chorus]
Em D C Everything seems like a dream A G C And life's a scream
[Verse 2]
Em C Here come old Kerosene Hat G D With his earflaps waxed, a-courtin' his girl Em C Come clattering here on your old cloven skates G D With that devilish spoon
[Chorus]
Em D C Everything seems like a dream A G C And life's a scream
N.C.
When you're submarine

[Verse 3]
Em C So don'tcha bother me, Death, with your leathery ways G D And your old chaise lounge Em C A wickerman's fence of heather retires G D And the cook's gone mad, started several fires
[Chorus]
Em D C Everything seems like a dream A G C When you're submarine
[Verse 4]
Em C Head like a stream, she says softly to me G D From the rattling chair Em C Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows G D My medicine lamp
[Chorus]
Em D C Everything seems like a dream A G C So life's a scream
[Outro]

Time signature: 4/4 with triplets.
There is quite a bit of variability in rhythmic patterns,
so feel free to experiment and even switch every measure.
However, keep a strong downbeat and strong triplet pattern.
Patterns to try:
1 + e + a + 2 + e + a + 3 + e + a + 4 + e + a +

My favorite is to strum each beat and pick notes on the off beats.
