Flightless Bird American Mouth Ukulele chords by Iron & Wine

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Difficulty: Novice

It's 3/4 timing, like a waltz, so strum appropriately. Each chord gets exactly 4
and this does not change.

Flightless Bird, American Mouth
by Iron & Wine

Verse 1:
     C
I was a quick wet boy
      Am
Diving too deep for coins
      F
All of your straight blind eyes
     G
Wide on my plastic toys
       C
And when the cops closed the fair
     Am
I cut my long baby hair
      F
Stole me a dog-eared map
         G
And called for you everywhere

Chorus:
    C
Have I found you?
      Am   F    G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

C
Or lost you?
Am
American mouth
F     G
Big bill looming

Verse 2:
      C
Now I’m a fat house cat
      Am
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
       F
Watching the warm poison rats
         G
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
      C
Kissing on magazine photos
   Am             F
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
        G
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Chorus:
C
Have I found you?
Am        F     G
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
C
Or lost you?
Am
American mouth
F     G
Big bill, still going down
