Chords

D
If I could be anything

G
in the world that flew

D
I would be a bat and come

G
swooping after you

D
And if the last time you were here

G
things were a bit askew

          Eb           Bb            F
Well, you know what happens after dark

          Eb                  Bb               F
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts

          Eb            Bb          F
And all the missionaries lose their bark

C                      F            G
Oh, all the trees are calling after you

C                  F            G
And all the venom snipers after you

C                     F            G
Are all the mountains boulder after you

D
If I could be any one of the things 

G
in this world that bite

D
Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash

G
I'd rather be a kite

D
Be tied to the end of your string

G
flying in the air, babe, at night

           Eb             Bb              F
'Cause you know what they say about honey bears

         Eb        Bb             F
When you shave off all their baby hair

Eb               Bb               F
You have a hairy minded pink bare bear

    C                 F              G
And all the bells are rolling out for you

    C                     F             G
And all the stones are erupting out for you

    C                     F             G
And all the cheap luck suckers are flying after you

D
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff

G
were grooving on the street

D
And just like in a movie

G
her hands became her feet

D
Her belly button was her mouth

G
which meant she tasted what she'd speak

        Eb                  Bb              F
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose

   Eb         Bb                    F
It grew until it reached all of her toes

          Eb              Bb                       F
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose

            C                   F            G
And all the curtains laced with diamonds for you

    C             F            G
And all the Roman noblemen for you

    C                   F                 G
And kingdom's Christian sailors, dear for you

    C               F                 G
And melting ice cap mountain tops for you

    C                  F                G
And knights in flaming silver robes for you

    C                 F                   G
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you

C          F            G
           Swoop, swoop,          rock, rock

C          F            G
           Swoop, swoop,          rock, rock
