Verse:

FF
Smoke was pulled in ribbons
     Bb majorBb
From the windows of the car
        FF             Bb majorBb
I followed the flash of silver from your teeth
     FF              Bb majorBb
Above the tarmac, the lights were icy-green
     FF            Bb majorBb
Buried in patterns in your chest a quiet shimmering
    FF           Bb majorBb                DmDm
Little dipper, tiara-shine, a song bird shivering, a thin, thin dime

Chorus:

DmDm          (Play intro riffs along with line, part A augmentedA 3 times then part BB 1 time)
Smoke like ribbons  (x4)

FF
Songs were pulled like ribbons
    Bb majorBb
From the window of the car
FF                  Bb majorBb
Lost along the shoulders of the highway
     FF              Bb majorBb
Cake walk dancers unwind from their spin
     FF
Singing,  Lordy, Lordy loved him
     Bb majorBb              FF
      Stark don't give a flat fuck

      Lordy, Lordy loved him
     Bb majorBb              FF
      Stark don't give a flat fuck

      Lordy, Lordy loved him
     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7            DmDm
      Stark don't give a flat fuck


DmDm
Smoke like ribbons  (repeat with intro riff until you're done)
