Chords

[Verse]
C
Dear charming kite

G          C
Do lightly bite

G
The foggy fields, the lowing lanes
The rickety roads and the kneeling plains
C
Oh lazy light

G             C
With massive might

G
You down my dream of snowy cloth
Felt snapping white as albatross
      C    G       F     Am
Is bitten by the wind and rocks

     C     G         F    Am
Is hushed into the clary moss

      C    G         F        Am
Is ushered here to count his loss

     G                 F       C
My kite, pale cotton, willow cross

C                     Em
Take my tattered fist

                     Am
It's like a catalyst

                              C                             G
It's like a roiling, rising wall of 'Has it come to this?'

C                             G
If this is medicine, whoa-oh

                          Am
It tastes like medicine

       C              G
Just help me get it in
[Chorus]
C
Flying a kite, flying a kite, flying a

Em
kite, flying a kite
Flying a kite, flying a
Am
Kite, flying a kite
Flying, flying a
C               G
Kite, oh whoa-oh

Cmaj7
Flying a kite, flying
A kite, flying a
Em7
Kite, flying a kite
Flying a kite, flying a
Am7
Kite, flying a kite
Flying, flying a
C                G
Kite, oh whoa-oh
[Verse]
C
Oh gnarly night

Em
It's like a dogfight
Am
C                     G
It's like a cat fight

C
And if I could just hold you close to me, whoa-oh

Em
I guess I'd hold you close to me
Am
C                        G
It's like a bull fight

Cmaj7                                Em7
And I say I'd give you a piece of my mind

                                      Am7
But I'm giving you a piece of my mind

                          C                   G
You blush-ing boy, how could you be so blind?
[Chorus]
C
Flying a kite, flying a kite, flying a

Em
kite, flying a kite
Flying a kite, flying a
Am
Kite, flying a kite
Flying, flying a
C               G
Kite, oh whoa-oh

Cmaj7
Flying a kite, flying
A kite, flying a
Em7
Kite, flying a kite
Flying a kite, flying a
Am7
Kite, flying a kite
Flying, flying a
C                G
Kite, oh whoa-oh
[Verse]
C
La da da, dee di

G                 C
Look at my kite fly

G
Over foggy fields, the pungent pines
The verdant vales, and the vapid vines
           C      G       F      Am
And the thousand purple cups of wine

      C      G             F         Am
The tearing teeth and the four full tines

      C        G            F         Am
The crumpling feast and the dawdling dine

        G
And you do

C
Pick me off the floor

               Em
Stand there staring for a minute

                                  Am
Like you never saw a girl before

C            G
There is the door

             Cmaj7                          Em7
At night the streets are like an open mouth

            Am7
I head south
And you stand fair and square, and I stand there
   C                      G
Until the fall blots me out

C             Em
There is no more

                                    Am
The cat and mouse to block the door

C              G
  There is no more
