Robyn Hitchcock – Acid Bird (Guitar)

D
Sucking on a tap that never dries

                                     A
Could you take it right between your eyes

G              F#
Bending blood, bending blood

Em                A
The father stood, the father's hood

D                 C              Bm             D
Like shadow on an acid bird that etched her way across a field

F  G    D
So long ago

D
Walking through the fields in summer heat

                                      A
Look at all the creatures 'round your feet

G              F#
Pumping blood, pumping blood

Em                 A
The mother's gaze, the mother gave

D                    C              Bm              D
White ointment of an acid kiss that burned upon the lips she gave you

G       D    C  G    A
So long ago, so long ago

G
Fun in the sun, luck in the bloodstream

A                              G
Shallow bodies writhing on the grass

G
Fun in the sun, hair in the slipstream

A                                  G
Tadpoles shooting through a hollow glass

D
Cutting out a silhouette in dreams

                            A
Everything is older than it seems

G             F#
Son of blood, son of blood

Em               A
The baby shakes, the baby snakes

D                     C               Bm                D
That crawl across the acid rings that flicker from your corpuscles

F   G     D    G         A
One sunny day, one sunny day

G
Fun in the sun everyone knows it

A                              G
They could be as mellow as the hay

G
Fun in the sun everyone blows it

A                               G
They grow up and instantly turn grey

D                 C              Bm             D
Like shadow of an acid bird that etched its way across a field

F  G    D    G       D
So long ago, so long ago
