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.
