Intro: E MajorE
E MajorE F#m13F#m13
Little insect upside down and trying
E MajorE
To right-side up itself felt by my right foot tapping
F#m13F#m13
Squirming mechanism and it spins and tips vertical
E MajorE
But in my alien eye, I can see he is beautiful
Chorus 1:
A augmentedA F#m13F#m13
Well I love my neighbor
E MajorE C# minorC#m
I love his determined behavior
A augmentedA A/G# F#m13F#m13 E MajorE
If it were me I'd probably might have just stayed there
E MajorE F#m13F#m13
Mid-sized opossum in front of my house, dying
E MajorE
Collided with the vehicle driving it out through the lightning
F#m13F#m13
She falls down softly in the middle of the lane, incoming
E MajorE
And it's clearly incumbent on me to run out to her and do something
E MajorE F#m13F#m13
As I approach her there I'm suddenly squirming
E MajorE
And I'm scared and I'm trying to do right but I guess I desecrate everything
Chorus 2:
A augmentedA F#m13F#m13
Well I love my neighbor
E MajorE C# minorC#m
I loved her courageous behavior
A augmentedA A/G# F#m13F#m13 E MajorE
The rainout shines out of her mouth and it points back to nature
E MajorE F#m13F#m13
Morning gosling echoing wide around me
E MajorE
A augmentedA "V" migrating down easy to better climate
F#m13F#m13
The startling shot rings out and now the geese are all screaming
E MajorE
And the marksman's adrenaline's up as he stands up smiling
Chorus 3:
A augmentedA F#m13F#m13
Well I love my neighbor
E MajorE C# minorC#m
But don't understand his behavior
A augmentedA A/G# F#m13F#m13 E MajorE
I love that bird but I don't ever want to take her
