Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
C majorC
Dear charming kite
G+G     C majorC
Do litely bite
G+G
The foggy fields, the lowing lanes

The rickety roads and the kneeling plains
C majorC
Oh lazy light
G+G       C majorC
With massive might
G+G
You down my dream of snowy cloth

Felt snapping white as albatross
   C majorC  G+G    FF   A minorAm
Is bitten by the wind and rocks
   C majorC   G+G     FF  A minorAm
Is hushed into the clary moss
   C majorC  G+G     FF    A minorAm
Is ushered here to count his loss
   G+G         FF    C majorC
My kite, pale cotton, willow cross

C majorC           E minorEm
Take my tattered fist
           A minorAm
It's like a catalyst
               C majorC               G+G
It's like a roiling, rising wall of 'Has it come to this?'
C majorC               G+G
If this is medicine, whoa-oh
             A minorAm
It tastes like medicine
    C majorC       G+G
Just help me get it in


Chorus:
C majorC
Flying a kite, flying a kite, flying a
E minorEm
kite, flying a kite

Flying a kite, flying a
A minorAm
Kite, flying a kite

Flying, flying a
C majorC        G+G
Kite, oh whoa-oh
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Flying a kite, flying

A augmentedA kite, flying a
E minor 7Em7
Kite, flying a kite

Flying a kite, flying a
Am7Am7
Kite, flying a kite

Flying, flying a
C majorC        G+G
Kite, oh whoa-oh

Verse:
C majorC
Oh gnarly night
E minorEm
It's like a dogfight
A minorAm
C majorC           G+G
It's like a cat fight
C majorC
And if I could just hold you close to me, whoa-oh
E minorEm
I guess I'd hold you close to me
A minorAm
C majorC            G+G
It's like a bull fight

Cmaj7Cmaj7                E minor 7Em7
And I say I'd give you a piece of my mind
                   Am7Am7
But I'm giving you a piece of my mind
             C majorC          G+G
You blush-ing boy, how could you be so blind?


Chorus:
C majorC
Flying a kite, flying a kite, flying a
E minorEm
kite, flying a kite

Flying a kite, flying a
A minorAm
Kite, flying a kite

Flying, flying a
C majorC        G+G
Kite, oh whoa-oh
Cmaj7Cmaj7
Flying a kite, flying

A augmentedA kite, flying a
E minor 7Em7
Kite, flying a kite

Flying a kite, flying a
Am7Am7
Kite, flying a kite

Flying, flying a
C majorC        G+G
Kite, oh whoa-oh


Verse:
C majorC
La da da, dee di
G+G         C majorC
Look at my kite fly
G+G
Over foggy fields, the pungent pines

The verdant vales, and the vapid vines
      C majorC   G+G    FF   A minorAm
And the thousand purple cups of wine
   C majorC   G+G       FF     A minorAm
The tearing teeth and the four full tines
   C majorC    G+G      FF     A minorAm
The crumpling feast and the dawdling dine
    G+G
And you do
C majorC
Pick me off the floor
        E minorEm
Stand there staring for a minute
                 A minorAm
Like you never saw a girl before
C majorC      G+G
There is the door
       Cmaj7Cmaj7             E minor 7Em7
At night the streets are like an open mouth
      Am7Am7
I head south

And you stand fair and square, and I stand there
  C majorC           G+G
Until the fall blots me out
C majorC       E minorEm
There is no more
                  A minorAm
The cat and mouse to block the door
C majorC       G+G
 There is no more
