Flightless Bird, American Mouth
by Iron & Wine

[Verse 1]
         G
I was a quick wet boy
            Em
Diving too deep for coins
            C
All of your straight blind eyes
          D
Wide on my plastic toys
             G
And when the cops closed the fair
          Em
I cut my long baby hair
           C
Stole me a dog-eared map
                  D
And called for you everywhere

[Chorus]
        G
Have I found you?
           Em     C        D
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

G
Or lost you?
Em
American mouth
C         D
Big bill looming

[Verse 2]
           G
Now I’m a fat house cat
            Em
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
             C
Watching the warm poison rats
                  D
Curl through the wide fence cracks
           G
Pissing on magazine photos
      Em                          C
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
               D
Blood of Christ mountain stream

[Chorus]
G
Have I found you?
Em               C          D
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
G
Or lost you?
Em
American mouth
C         D           G
Big bill, still going down...
