Artist: Dan Mangan Album: Oh Fortune Song: About As Helpful As You Can Be Without Being Any Help At All [Verse 1]
C         F        (F)   G      Am           Em
Both feet together       Slowly progressing

F         G     C               F        (F)
Always in time  Don't count the feathers

G              Am     Em    F        G
Just count the wings        Everyday counting

C            F        (F)     G      Am        Em
Everything's changing       I almost forgot it

F
But then I remembered
[Interlude] C - F - F - G
Am - Em - F - G
(x2)
[Verse 2]
      C             F   (F)  G        Am       Em
I was thrown in the boat     Cast out -- to sea

F             G                  C             F   (F)
Friendly with waves   There were sharks below

G          Am   Em       F          G
Hungry for me       So I dangled my leg
[Interlude] C - F - F - G Am - Em - F - G [Verse 3]
      C         F     (F)           G       Am     Em
I lit up like a match     Because i bled gasoline

       F        G                  C        F     (F)
Made a torch of myself   Until the moon was mine

G             Am   Em         F           G   C
Stars made of me        How I lit up that sky
(Break for string section, I like to fingerpick the progression here) [Interlude] C - F - F - G
Am - Em - F - G (ooooh oooh ooooh)
(x4)
[Verse 4]
C         F       (F)    G      Am           Em
Both feet together       Slowly progressing

F         G     C               F        (F)
Always in time  Don't count the feathers

G              Am     Em    F        G
Just count the wings        Everyday counting

C            F        (F)     G      Am        Em
Everything's changing       I almost forgot it

F          G         C
