Track 3: Elephant (Originally titled Blowers Daughter Part 2.)

This is the chords for the song.

[Verse]
        Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramG# minorG#m
This has got to die, this has got to stop
        Chord diagramF# minorF#m              Chord diagramA minorAm
This has got to lie down, with someone else on top
    Chord diagramE MajorE               Chord diagramG# minorG#m
You can keep me pinned, it’s easier to tease
            Chord diagramF# minorF#m            Chord diagramA minorAm
But you can't paint an elephant quite as good as she

[Chorus]
      Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramG#G#        Chord diagramF# minorF#m     Chord diagramA minorAm
And she may cry like a baby. And she may drive me crazy
   Chord diagramE MajorE  Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramBB
Cause I am lately… Lonely

[Verse]
        Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramG# minorG#m
So why’d you have to lie? I take it I'm your crotch
          Chord diagramF# minorF#m           Chord diagramA minorAm
The pillow in your pillow case is easier to touch
              Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramG# minorG#m
And then you think you've sinned, as you fall upon your knees
        Chord diagramF# minorF#m            Chord diagramA minorAm
Living in your picture, still forget the breeze

[Chorus]
       Chord diagramE MajorE    Chord diagramG#G#
And she may rise if I sing you down
      Chord diagramF# minorF#m  Chord diagramA minorAm
And she may wisely cling to the ground
   Chord diagramE MajorE   Chord diagramA augmentedA   Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramBB
Cause I am lately horny
  Chord diagramE MajorE       Chord diagramA augmentedA    Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramBB
So why would she take me horny?

[Middle 8]
Chord diagramF# minorF#m             Chord diagramA minorAm
  What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
Chord diagramF# minorF#m        Chord diagramBB
  You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Chord diagramF# minorF#m                   Chord diagramBB
  Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
  And I could do it all for you I could be strong
Chord diagramC# minorC#m (Staccato here)    Chord diagramBB
Tell me if you want me to lie

[Verse]
        Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramG# minorG#m
'Cause this has got to die, this has got to stop
        Chord diagramF# minorF#m                 Chord diagramA minorAm
This has got to lie down, down with someone else on top
       Chord diagramE MajorE                   Chord diagramG# minorG#m
You can both keep me pinned, ‘cause it's easier to tease
           Chord diagramF# minorF#m          Chord diagramA minorAm
But you can't make me happy quite as good as me

Well you know that’s a lie

Lyrics

VERSE

She lives with an orange tree
And the girl that does yoga
She picks the dead ones from the ground
When we come over

And she gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me

BRIDGE

Like a morning sun
Like a morning
Like a morning sun
Like a good good morning sun

CHORUS

Girl that does yoga
When we come over
Girl that does yoga

VERSE

Well he lives in a little house
On the side of a little hill
Picks the litter from the ground
Litter little brother spills

He gives
I get
Without giving
Anything to me

BRIDGE

And the dogs they run
And the dogs they
And the dogs they run
In the good good morning sun

CHORUS

Side of a little hill
Litter little brother spills
Side of a little hill

MIDDLE 8 (Technically 2 middle 8’s!)

And she's always dressed in white
She's like an angel
Man she burns our eyes
When she turns
She pulls a smile
We drive her 'round
And she drives us wild
And she moves like a little girl
I become a child
Man she moved my world
And she gets splashed in paint
And turns away
And leaves me standing

VERSE

She lives with an orange tree
And a girl that does yoga
Got a wolf to keep her warm
When he comes over

And she gives
He gets
Without giving
Anything to see

BRIDGE

And the day it ends
And the day it
And the day it ends
And there's no need for me

CHORUS

With a girl that does yoga
When we come over
With a girl that does yoga

Verse1:
    Chord diagramFF
Well I held you like a lover
	Chord diagramG+G			Chord diagramC majorC	  Chord diagramCsusCsus	Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
Happy hands, your elbow in the appropriate place
  Chord diagramFF				Chord diagramG+G
And we ignored our others' happy plans
	  		Chord diagramC majorC	    Chord diagramCsusCsus	Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G
For that delicate look upon your face
    Chord diagramFF
Our bodies moved and hardened
	Chord diagramG+G			  Chord diagramC majorC	  	Chord diagramCsusCsus
Hurting parts of your garden, With no room for a pardon
   Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramC majorC			   Chord diagramFF    Chord diagramG+G
In a place where no one knows what we have done


Chorus:
	Chord diagramDmDm  Chord diagramG+G		       Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramCsusCsus Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
Do you come    together ever with him?
	Chord diagramDmDm   Chord diagramG+G		       Chord diagramC majorC   Chord diagramCsusCsus Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
And is he dark  enough, enough to see your light?
	  Chord diagramDmDm   		       Chord diagramG+G
And do you brush your teeth before you kiss?
     Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramCsusCsus Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
Do you miss my smell?
	  Chord diagramDmDm			   Chord diagramG+G		 Chord diagramC majorC		Chord diagramCsusCsus  Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramG+G
and is he bold enough to take you on,  do you feel like you belong?
	Chord diagramDmDm         Chord diagramG+G	     Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramCsusCsus Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
and does he drive you wild,  or just mildly free?
	  Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G
What about me?

Verse2:
     Chord diagramFF
Well you held me like a lover
	Chord diagramG+G			  Chord diagramC majorC	   Chord diagramCsusCsus	Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
Sweaty hands, and my foot in the appropriate place
Chord diagramFF			 Chord diagramG+G
We use cushions to cover happy glands
	  		Chord diagramC majorC	    Chord diagramCsusCsus	Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G
In the mild issue of our disgrace
   Chord diagramFF					 Chord diagramG+G
Our minds pressed and guarded While our flesh disregarded
   Chord diagramC majorC		 Chord diagramCsusCsus      Chord diagramA minorAm		Chord diagramFF	  	   Chord diagramG+G
The lack of space for the light-hearted, in the boom that beats our drum

    Chord diagramFF
Well I know I make you cry,
    Chord diagramG+G
and I know sometimes you wanna die
  Chord diagramC majorC	      Chord diagramCsusCsus 	Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramG+G
But do you really feel alive without me,
      Chord diagramFF
if so, be free
		   Chord diagramG+G	   Chord diagramC majorC	        Chord diagramCsusCsus	  Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G
If not, leave him for me, before one of us has accidental babies
	  Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G
For we are in love

-==Chorus==-
	  Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G
What about me?
