Chords
This is all very simple. The whole song follows this same pattern: Am, C, F, G.
It's on the 3rd fret, and these chords are relative to the capo.
It's 3/4 timing, like a waltz, so strum appropriately. Each chord gets exactly 4
and this does not change.
by Iron & Wine
[Verse 1]
C I was a quick wet boy Am Diving too deep for coins F All of your street light eyes G Wide on my plastic toys C And when the cops closed the fair Am I cut my long baby hair F Stole me a dog-eared map G And called for you everywhere
[Chorus]
C Have I found you? Am F G Flightless bird, jealous, weeping C Or lost you? Am American mouth F G Big pill looming
[Verse 2]
C Now I’m a fat house cat Am Nursing my sore blunt tongue F Watching the warm poison rats G Curl through the wide fence cracks C Pissing on magazine Am Photos, those fishing lures F Thrown in the cold and clean G Blood of Christ mountain stream
[Chorus]
C Have I found you? Am F G Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding C Or lost you? Am American mouth F G C Big pill, stuck going down
[Outro]
