Fishtails by Indigo Girls (Written by Amy Ray)
Standard Tuning, no capo


Intro:
A minorAm FF C majorC G+G x2 (Play around with the strumming, there's a good bit of hammering on, esp. around the Cs)


Verse 1:
        A minorAm    FF      C majorC         G+G
You know all them sweaty boys hanging out at the copper mines
         A minorAm          FF          C majorC         G+G
You watched them growing up under the bridge on the river shoals off Georgia 9
       A minorAm       FF        C majorC          G+G
They used to lay their sweet bodies out just waiting on a fishing line
        A minorAm       FF          C majorC       G+G
Just like your daddy did when he was a kid in the wilds of Florida
         A minorAm  FF          C majorC      G+G
But your daddy's gone and those boys jacked up got rough moved on

A minorAm  FF  C majorC G+G

Verse 2:
       A minorAm    FF      C majorC         G+G
You find your own self hiding in the stories of drunken men
      A minorAm          FF          C majorC       G+G
With their kids in tow from the picture show riding over mountain bends
      A minorAm         FF         C majorC          G+G
And you can feel their fingers crossing when the black ice of winter comes
        A minorAm         FF       C majorC         G+G
But they'll be fishtailing in the dark from the time that they are born


Chorus:
FF         C majorC          A minorAm         G+G
Hey, you know your daddy's gone, those boys you loved got rough with the girls and
   FF
moved on
        C majorC         A minorAm      G+G    FF        C majorC
Still you gotta find some goodness somewhere somehow, so hug the corners take the
     A minorAm       G+G       FF    G+G            A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
straights from the cradle to the grave oh we all give what, yeah, what we got


Verse 3:
    A minorAm        FF        C majorC           G+G
In the winter you'll go south and fall asleep in the late day sun
    A minorAm         FF              C majorC          G+G
Holding still to catch the last of the warmth before the storm clouds roll on in
  A minorAm         FF          C majorC       G+G
At night you watch the kids riding in their hoodies in the rain
    A minorAm       FF          C majorC        G+G
Heading up to St. Johns causeway bridge fishtailing all the way


Chorus:
FF         C majorC          A minorAm         G+G
Hey, you know your daddy's gone, those boys you loved got rough with the girls and
   FF
moved on
        C majorC         A minorAm      G+G    FF        C majorC
Still you gotta find some goodness somewhere somehow, so hug the corners take the
     A minorAm       G+G       FF    G+G            A minorAm  FF C majorC G+G
straights from the cradle to the grave oh we all give what, yeah, what we got

Yeah we all give what we got
