Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]All that I have is this [F]dull
paring [E]knife[Am]
Peeling potatoes for the [Bb]rest of my life
[Am]Dirt floors make dust
so I hope for the best
I carry candies with [Bb]pains in my chest
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Face tied together with three
times [Bb]used string
Follow me see [Gm]what [Am]I mean

[Verse 3]
[Am]Fixing a fencepost or [F]feeding a [Am]cow
Two penny salt lick I [Bb]never ask how
[Am]Animals like me though [F]folks turn [Am]away
I like the pigeons I [Bb]like what they say
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Face tied together with three
times [Bb]used string
Follow me see [Am]what I mean

[Verse 5]
[Am]We c[A]ome al[Am]one [A]and[D] leave alone
and we look the horse in the mouth
We scratch the skin and break the bone
and see birds migrating south
[A]

[Verse 6]
[Am]By the s[C]ide of the stump where she
told us these things
If you hear a bell ring you
[Am]get [G]some wings
[C]Don't bother looking for what
I've neglected [G]to bring

[Verse 7]
By the [G]side of [C]the stump
where she told us these things
If you hear a bell ring you
get some [G]wings
[C]She's fallen farther than
feathers that [Am]float in [D]the wind

[Verse 8]
[E]I s[Am]aw a wishing well d[F]own by the s[Am]tream
I never understood [Bb]what wishes mean
[Am]Just ask for nothing you
[F]get what you [Am]get
I asked for something I've
[Bb]not got it yet
[Am]

[Verse 9]
[Am]Face tied together with three
times [Bb]used string
Follow me see what [Am]I mean

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 10]
We [D]come alone and leave alone and we
look the horse in the mouth
We scratch the skin and break the
bone and see birds migrating south
[A]

[Verse 11]
[D]By the [C]side of the stump
where she told us these things
If you hear a bell ring you
get [G]some wings
[C]Don't bother looking for what
I've neglected [G]to bring

[Verse 12]
By the [C]side of the stump where she
told us these things
If you hear a bell ring you
get [G]some wings
[C]She's fallen farther than feather[Am]s that float in the[G] wind
