Sugarfoot Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][B][Em][D]
[C][G][D][Em]
Sugarfoot's [D]got two hands Just as long

[Verse 1]
[B]
as he can [Em]see
One hand [D]in the birdfeed
[C]And a hand in the apple tree
[G]He [D]sta[Em]nds in line, just a little b[D]ehind
A [B]yellow moon that [Em]hangs
He's all tangled and he [D]broke
his sticks on the [C]links
Of his own chain [G]gang[D]
[Em][D][B][Em][D][C][G]
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Em]You oughta see this home[D]
that he own
It's like [B]a box of jew[Em]elry
He's got his own church [D]bell
And his bed [C]it lays [G]in a gallery[D]
[Em]And all the colors they
[D]shine like flames
Coming [B]in through the window pane
[Em]They end up getting
[D]checked over twice
For the [C]reds [G]of someone's [D]veins

[Verse 3]
[Em]It's[G] so cold and blown all apart[C]
[G]It's so cold and needing of a
[C]heart

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][B][Em][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]He stands alone on[D] the top of his home
Where all [B]the blue [Em]birds flown
Sucks in on [D]his cheeks
and he cries
[C]As he moans [G]through a saxophone[D]
[Em]He reaches high with his
[D]hands in the sky
And puts his [B]fingers right into [Em]the storm
Always one to stand [D]under the moon
And [C]blow on his [G]own horn
[D]And any[Em] one with anything
[D]has already begun to think
That [B]somebody down there knows
[Em]Just how he sat down on
[D]his knees in the dirt
And buried [C]someone's rainbow
[G][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]It's so cold and blown all [C]apart
[G]It's so cold and needing of a [C]heart

[Verse 6]
[G]It's so cold and blown all [C]apart
[G]It's so cold and needing of [C]a heart
[Em]Well, i know

[Verse 7]
you ain't my enemy
The [D]only one's inside of me
He's [B]killing me getting free
[Em]I hear he wants my head
with an old [D]ice pick
And [C]fix me up [G]on a stick
[D]And[Em] all i've ever got to be
Is [D]everything i want to [B]be
And sugarfoot dis[Em]agrees

[Verse 8]
He still stands [Em]tall underneath
that ap[D]ple tree
Man, [C]he's still watching [G]me[D]
[Em]His chain gang is tryin' to pull[D] me down
Like the [B]birds and the fire[Em]flies
They shoot arrows up into the skies
[D]And[C] they burn all the feathers dry[G]
[D]Well, he onl[Em]y wants
to fill his belly [D]up
With rocks [B]till it hurts,
then he [Em]stops
Well, he don't know what to [D]do with love
If it don't [C]fill his belly to [G]the top[D][Em]

[Verse 9]
[G]It's so cold and blown all [C]apart
[G]It's so cold and needing of [C]a heart

[Verse 10]
[Em]It's[C][D][G][D][Em][A][D]
[Em][C][D][G][D][Em]
[A][D][G][C]
[G]so [C]col[G]d and blown all apart[C]
[G]It's so cold and needing of a heart
