Winnebago Skeletons
From the album Milk And Scissors
[Intro]
G+G
[Verse]
G+G C majorC G+G
There's a fish in my stomach a thousand years old
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Can't swim a full circle, the water's too cold
E minorEm C majorC G+G F#/G E minorEm
Burnt out cars in my fingers, conveyor belts flow,
C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
right angles and steam whistles, nothing can grow
[Verse]
G+G C majorC G+G
A augmentedA big-antlered deer stepping into the road,
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
A augmentedA beautiful woman with her head in the stove
E minorEm C majorC G+G F#/G E minorEm
The skyscrapers crumble heavy with rats
C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
The wind's full of beer cans and whiffle ball bats
[Chorus]
D MajorD C majorC G+G
The endless sea of traffic lights never make a sound
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Like Ben Franklin's electric kite crashing to the ground
C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
and the Winnebago skeletons beneath this bankrupt town
[Solo]
G+G C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G F#/G E minorEm C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
[Verse]
G+G C majorC G+G
This fish in my stomach wears a full length mink,
G+G E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
But his teeth float in sherry in a jar by the sink
E minorEm C majorC G+G F#/G E minorEm
He's the withered remains of Rin Tin Tin
C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
Taking his new Cadillac out for a spin
[Chorus]
D MajorD C majorC G+G
The endless sea of traffic lights never make a sound
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Like Ben Franklin's electric kite crashing to the ground
C majorC A minorAm C majorC D MajorD G+G
and the Winnebago skeletons beneath this bankrupt town
