Flightless Bird, American Mouth Chords by Iron & Wine

[Start]

[Verse]
        Eb           
I was a quick wet boy
           Cm            
Diving too deep for coins
            Ab                 
All of your straight light eyes
           Bb          
Wide on my plastic toys
              Eb                  
Then when the cops closed the fair
                   Cm  
I cut my long baby hair
           Ab           
Stole me a dog eared map
                   Bb        
And called for you everywhere
       Eb       
Have I found you
Cm              Ab      Bb     
Flightless bird jealous weeping
Eb      Bb 
Or lost you
Cm            
American mouth
Ab               Bb
Big bill looming ■ 
        Eb             
Now I'm a fat house cat
Cm                          
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
Ab                           
Watching the warm poison rats
             Bb                   
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Eb                        
Pissing on magazine photos
Cm                         Ab                   
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
         Bb                    
Blood of Christ mountain stream


[Chorus]
Eb              
Have I found you
Cm              Ab         Bb      
Flightless bird brown hair bleeding
Eb         
Or lost you
Cm             Abmaj7
American mouth ■     
Ab       Bb          Eb  
Big bill stuck going down


[Solo]
Cm Ab Bb Bb7 Eb Cm7 Eb Ab
