  C
I grew up in a little town named after another

G
Catching bass and cutting grass is how I spent my summers

  F
I know it sounds cliche, but it's how I was raised

    C
And I got my first guitar from a pawn shop off of poplar

G
Picked up Sweet Home Alabama, and Smoke On The Water

    F
And that's what got me out

F
It's crazy thinking now

      C
I'm a mockingbird

                                    G
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard

                                          Dm
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi's home

     F
I've always been a mockingbird but

                                  C
Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

  C
I found myself a contract down on Sixteenth Avenue

G
Writing songs for anyone about anything I knew

         F
And I've come a long long way

        F
But one thing hasn't changed

      C
I'm a mockingbird

                                    G
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard

                                          Dm
Like Friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi's home

     F
I've always been a mockingbird but

                                  C
Now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone

                          G                  Dm
A mockingbird with a microphone, with a microphone, with a microphone,

            C
With a microphone

C
Do this, do that, that shirt, this hat

Eb
Don't forget to smile

F                       C
Kiss the ring once in a while

C
Don't say, those words, put down your finger

Eb
Throw in a slow love song or two

F
Well fuck that, and fuck you 'cause

C                         Eb
The way I sing may not be pretty

                         F
May not be music to your ears

                                      F
But when these wings roll through your city

                        C
My last name is all you hear

                   Eb
And I refuse to be another

                        F
Mockingbird with a microphone

                              F
I'll fly the line I choose to brother

                          C
Even if that makes me the crow

C
The crow, the crow

                          Eb
Even if that makes me the crow

              F
The crow, the crow, the crow

C
Well do that, do this, unclench your fist

Eb
You're too loud, you're too proud it won't work

F
Well tell that to twenty five thousand

C                         Eb
The way I sing may not be pretty

                         F
May not be music to your ears

                                      F
But when these wings roll through your city

                        C
My last name is all you hear

                   Eb
And I refuse to be another

                        F
Mockingbird with a microphone

                              F
I'll fly the line I choose to brother

                          C
Even if that makes me the crow

C
The crow, the crow

                          Eb
Even if that makes me the crow

              F
The crow, the crow, the crow

     C
I'm a mockingbird

                                    Eb
Singing songs that sound like other songs you've heard

                                          F
Like friday nights and headlights on some backroad red dirt, and how Mississippi's home

     F
I've always been a mockingbird but

                                  C
Now I'm a mockingbird and I'm the crow
