Verse 1:
C majorC                        A minorAm
We're alone most of the time these days.
E MajorE                        FF
Jill used to come by, but she went away.
C majorC                                A minorAm
And gail used to come around and trash the joint,
E MajorE                     FF
But she moved off to dana point.
FF                    G+G
And you went along, just for the ride,
         C majorC              FF
And you both committed suicide.


Chorus:
     FF      G+G            C majorC        A minorAm
And day is breaking over cobscook bay.
          FF                   G+G                C majorC
And I've never seen anything like it in my life.


Verse 2:
C majorC                        A minorAm
Cow gave brith and her calves are snow white
E MajorE                      FF
They huddle up close together at night.
          C majorC                        A minorAm
And the mamma cow leans down and cleans her young.
E MajorE                    FF
Licking their faces with her tongue,
FF                       G+G
And unmarked airplanes buzz the air.
            C majorC               FF                  C majorC
And you're falling off that cliff somewhere in california
FF
Which I've never seen.
          C majorC                          FF
I put the pieces all together, but I don't know what they mean,


Chorus:
     FF      G+G            C majorC        FF
And day is breaking over cobscook bay.
          FF                   G+G                C majorC
And I've never seen anything like it in my life.
