Small Red Boy chords by Andrew Jackson Jihad

Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
A minorAm E7E7

[Verse 1]
 A minorAm        E7E7       A minorAm
I found a small red boy inside my tummy
C majorC          G+G          C majorC
 With 3 dollars in change and a Milky Way Lite
   E7E7                     A minorAm
In my occasional pursuit to find something more meaningful
   FF                 G+G
Than yet another word that rhymes with "die"
 A minorAm       E7E7       A minorAm
I cut him out and put him on my table
  C majorC         G+G           C majorC
His shallow-breathing chest would fall and rise
  E7E7                 A minorAm
His South of Heaven shirt was way too big for him
  FF
His horns were long and sharp
      G+G
And then he opened up those eyes that said

[Chorus 1]
 C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth

[Interlude]
A minorAm E7E7

[Verse 2]
 A minorAm        E7E7      A minorAm
I showered him with love and adulation
C majorC       G+G        C majorC
One day he was just as tall as me
 E MajorE                  A minorAm
I showed him all the books that I was raised on
   FF             G+G
Your Madeleine L'Engle and D'Aulaires' Mythologies
     A minorAm         E7E7        A minorAm
And in a montage that could warm the heart of Hitler
 C majorC        G+G         C majorC
I raised him up so proud and motherly
 E7E7               A minorAm
I swore that I was glancing in a mirror
      FF
When in the language that I taught him
    G+G
Oh god, he began to speak, he said

[Chorus 2]
 C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth
 C majorC      G+G      A minorAm
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth

[Verse 3]
    FF            G+G
And his eyes became a beacon, an LCD projector
   E7E7              FF
Broadcasting all my memories in a clear and vivid picture
  FF               G+G
His tongue became a staircase, his uvula the knocker
   E7E7               FF
Of an ornate wooden door that led me straight into my future
  FF                G+G
His throat became a hallway with a thousand baby pictures
  E7E7              FF
And I became forgiveness, I transformed into the closure that I lost
FF              G+G
  When I learned about the tragedy of all of us
 E7E7                FF
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
 FF             G+G
Incorrigible illness in the loved ones in and out of us
 E7E7                FF
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
 FF                G+G
I walked through the hallways to a room of only mirrors
E7E7              FF
Reflecting me in bondage so I watched myself get freer

[Bridge]
 FF
I let my horns grow longer
  G+G
I observed my skin get redder
  A minorAm
My soul became a hammer
  C majorC
I started to feel better
  FF
My hatred to turned to pity
  G+G
My resentment blossomed flowers
  C majorC        E7E7
My bitter tasting candy
  A minorAm      G+G
My misery was power
  FF
The truth in me grew brighter
  G+G
My nature and my nurture

[Chorus 3]
    C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
No more shame, no more fear, no more dread!
 FF      G+G      C majorC
