Chords with lyrics
Scott plays the song with an accordian but I think it sounds best with these barre chords:
-5-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-6-----8-----6-----5------------------------|
-7-----9-----7-----6------------------------|
-7-----10----8-----7------------------------|
-5-----10----8-----7------------------------|

DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA
DmDm
I'm gonna tell my eyes not to see no colors,
C majorC
I'll tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Bb majorBb
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
A augmentedA
keep my eyes on you, I don't need no others.
DmDm
Throw away all my old letters,
C majorC
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
Bb majorBb
I got a picture of you to replace the sky,
A augmentedA
If I lose you in the crowd I just sit down and I cry.
DmDm - C majorC - Bb majorBb - A augmentedA
DmDm
Well I got a tin foil hat to keep me from dreaming,
Bb majorBb
Going to sip my wine and stare at the ceiling,
Bb majorBb
I keep my smiles in the bread box, you come home and
A augmentedA
choke them down with water when you leave me all alone.
DmDm
I'm gonna tell my eyes not to see no colors,
C majorC
I'll tell my ears not to take no lovers,
Bb majorBb
Gonna keep my head underneath the covers,
A augmentedA
keep my eyes on you, I don't need no others.
DmDm
Throw away all my old letters,
C majorC
Gonna sit in the kitchen and trim my feathers,
Bb majorBb
I got a picture of you to replace the sky,
A augmentedA
