🎸 Intro:

Bb majorBb


🎸 Verse:

Bb majorBb
I don't know my telephone number

But you kiss good and I'd like to

See you tomorrow

And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter

And if we had a child I'd like a son,
      Eb MajorEb
Not a daughter

No she'd be just like you
DbDb
You know that would not do

🎸 Verse 2:

Bb majorBb
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener

I sing some songs, have a friend

Who's a photographer

There ain't no other language

I know how to speak

Some like their water shallow
        Eb MajorEb
And I like mine deep, so very, very deep
DbDb
Tied to the bottom

With a noose around my feet


🎸 Chorus:

Bb majorBb       C minorCm  DbDb
The clouds conspire
     G minorGm  Bb majorBb
Above my head
    C minorCm     DbDb
I overheard them
          G minorGm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb majorBb      C minorCm DbDb
Today the sunset
         G minorGm
Oh it burned my eyes
Bb majorBb     C minorCm   DbDb        G minorGm
And in the next room I hear someone cry

🎸 Interlude:

🎸 Verse 3:

Bb majorBb
I like to dress up like the jury

Eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy

To talk like dirt

To love you like tar
           Eb MajorEb
But never fall in too fast

With my north star
     DbDb
While you pull your hair out

I buy the drinks at the bar


🎸 Chorus 2:

Bb majorBb       C minorCm  DbDb
The clouds conspire
     G minorGm  Bb majorBb
Above my head
    C minorCm     DbDb
I overheard them
          G minorGm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb majorBb      C minorCm DbDb
Today the sunset
         G minorGm
Oh it burned my eyes
Bb majorBb     C minorCm   DbDb        G minorGm
And in the next room I hear someone cry
