<< Back to Iron &amp; Wine Song List

Version 1
            This is all very simple. The whole song follows this same pattern: Am, C, F, G.
It's on the 3rd fret, and these chords are relative to the capo.
It's 3/4 timing, like a waltz, so strum appropriately. Each chord gets exactly 4 
and this does not change.

Flightless Bird, American Mouth
by Iron & Wine


[Verse 1]
        C
I was a quick wet boy
           Am
Diving too deep for coins
            F
All of your street light eyes
          G
Wide on my plastic toys
             C
And when the cops closed the fair
         Am
I cut my long baby hair
           F
Stole me a dog-eared map
                  G
And called for you everywhere

[Chorus]
      C
Have I found you?
Am               F        G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
 C
Or lost you?
 Am
American mouth
F        G
Big pill looming

[Verse 2]
          C
Now I’m a fat house cat
           Am
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
             F
Watching the warm poison rats
                 G
Curl through the wide fence cracks
           C
Pissing on magazine
            Am
Photos, those fishing lures
               F
Thrown in the cold and clean
               G
Blood of Christ mountain stream

[Chorus]
      C
Have I found you?
Am               F         G
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
 C
Or lost you?
 Am
American mouth
F         G          C    
Big pill, stuck going down  

[Outro]
Am  F  G
C  Am  F  G x3 
C
