            FIELD REPORT

CAPO: 2nd FRET

VERSE:
D MajorD          Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
So Richard Oaks gave me a call
          B minorBm A augmentedA    G+G
From San Francisco late in the fall
          D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
He said it's going down

D MajorD
He said we're gonna take the island
   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD     Dsus2Dsus2   D MajorD
As a monument to the smallpox blankets
    B minorBm
And the bureaucrats
 A augmentedA          G+G
All you got to do is come along
 G+G         D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You catch a bus tomorrow

      G+G
And if we die there
               D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Well at least we'll make a choice
     G+G
If we're fine there
         A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
We can tell the boys


CHORUS:
    A augmentedA
That a line in the sand
    G+G          D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Don’t matter you don’t care
    A augmentedA          G+G
That a bird in the hand is worthless
       D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You're too scared

INSTRUMENTAL:  D MajorD  B minorBm A augmentedA G+G G+G  D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD


VERSE:
   D MajorD        Dsus4Dsus4   D MajorD
So clear my name and clear my throat
          B minorBm   A augmentedA  G+G
Find my voice and here we go again
          D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I need a place to stand

    D MajorD               Dsus2Dsus2
I hear sirens down the street from the 3rd shift bar
     D MajorD          B minorBm      A augmentedA
I'm gonna park my car in the painted off place
      G+G
Where the bikers park
         D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
See what happens then

     G+G
And if I die here
             D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Well at least I made a choice
     G+G               A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
If I'm fine here just please tell the boys


CHORUS:
    A augmentedA           G+G
That a line in the sand don’t matter
B minorBm      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4
You dont care
    A augmentedA          G+G
That a bird in the hand is worthless
 B minorBm     D MajorD
You're too scared


VERSE:
   D MajorD
My friends keep calling
 Dsus2Dsus2   D MajorD
I don’t pick up
    D MajorD
I got nothing to say
    B minorBm     A augmentedA     G+G
That I can’t just make up anyway
             D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I've got all this shit to do

 D MajorD             A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
I've turned you off on the radio
  D MajorD            B minorBm  A augmentedA
I turn around and it's in a TV show
       G+G
I turn that off too
          D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I remember when I knew you

      G+G
And if I'm fine here
         D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Well I made my choice
   G+G
If I die here
           A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2 A augmentedA Asus2Asus2
Please just tell the boys


CHORUS:
    A augmentedA           G+G
That a line in the sand don’t matter
B minorBm      D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You don't care
    A augmentedA          G+G
That a bird in the hand is worthless
 B minorBm     D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You're too scared


OUTRO:
    A augmentedA           G+G
That a line in the sand don’t matter
B minorBm      D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
You don't care
    A augmentedA          G+G
That a bird in the hand is worthless
 B minorBm     D MajorD
You're too scared
