The Handsome Family – Gulls (Guitar)

C              G
Good Doctor Brian

             C
He fell in love

                 G
With the purple seas

                   C
Of such rose and silk

                  Am
But in what got drove

        C
Away, away

                   G
Like the soaring ghost

                     C
All the white dove sees

                 G
One night he begged

                C
She’d be his bride

               C
But she said ‘no’

            G
It cannot wait

            Am
Just like gulls

                    C
With their hungry tries

             G
I love you less

                   C
Than the one got tied

             F
Out he did grew

                C
Oh such cruel words

                  G
And although this is

         Am
A shiny cell

            C
He took a rock

               G
And threw it high

             G
And hawk a gull

                     C
From the wine dark sand

            G
In twilet dust

               C
In a blacky witch

              F
The doctor burned

                C
Warm wood and pitch

             Am
And with a fist

                 C
Will bring your dirt

               G
Deep in the night

                    C
For that one girl heart

               F
And then she came

                    C
With those rosy sleeves

               G
To touch his hands

                    Am
With such a wilder kiss

                C
His black top hat

                   G
To the breeze it went

                   G
And his flapping arms

               C
Grew feather plan

                 G
His face is stretched

                 C
To a sharpened way

                 F
And now he’s strange

                        C
To feel the wild dark wind

             Am
But all he found

                 C
And thought to find

              G
Those rosy sleeves

                  C
Held them oh so tight
