Bluebirds

F
F
Bluebirds are so natural
Bb
F
I wanna buy them for my friends
F
Bluebirds are so dismal
Bb
F
And I want to trade mine in
Bb
F
And I don't go out for brunch
Bb
F
And I don't go out for cunts
Bb
F
And I don't go out for months
Bb
F
Without my Barnes and Nobles credit card.
F
Cleaning out my wisdom teeth
Bb
F
I found a diamond in my gums
F
Cleaning out the kitchen
Bb
F
Found a spoon that played the drums
Bb
F
And despite the things they say
Bb
F
I gave it up that day
Bb
F
I'd never go that way
C
Bb
F
Unless your daddy nailed me to the cross
F
Suicide, suicide
Bb
F
Leaning out to everyone that hides
Bb
F
Breaking the chains on the things down low
Bb
C
Where it stops I don't know how that goes
F
Bluebirds are so natural
Bb
F
I wanna buy them for my friends
F
Bluebirds are so dismal
Bb
F
And I want to trade mine in
Bb
F
And despite the things they say
Bb
F
I gave it up that day
Bb
F
I'd never go that way
C
F
Unless your daddy nailed me to the cross
C
Bb
F
Your daddy nailed me to the cross


Carolina

F
Carolina, she's from Texas
Dm
Red bricks drop from her vagina
F
Oh, her lips taste just like sunk ships
Dm
But her breasts taste just like breakfast
F
There's her hand now on the cock sock
Dm
Filled with white tears from the thrift store
F
She's an eyesore in her red dress
Dm
I'm the ghost of her deceased when she said
F
Give us back our lives
Gm
C
Leave him, Carolina
F
Everything's just fine
Gm
C
C
Refill my prescription
F
Until next time
Gm
C
F
I get so lost inside the rooms inside my mind
F
California presidente
Dm
Cogi mucho estoy cansado
F
Dostoyevsky, Fab Moretti
Dm
Antiseptic, complimentary
F
There's her hand now on the cock sock
Dm
Filled with white tears from the thrift store
F
She's an eyesore in her red dress
Dm
I'm the ghost of her deceased when she said
F
Give us back our lives
Gm
C
Leave him, Carolina
F
Everything's just fine
Gm
C

Refill my prescription
F
Until next time
Gm
C

I get so lost inside the rooms inside my mind
F
Goodnight, sweetheart
C
Flying high on birth control
She knows the pregnancy will show
C
That she smells nice when you look twice
A7
Who's your boyfriend, Carolina?
F
And it's goodnight, sweetheart
C
Flying high on birth control
She knows injections in her bones
F
Carolina, she's from Texas
Dm
Red bricks drop from her vagina
F

Castles And Tassels

Capo:
I
A
D
A
E
He was born in a murderous fashion The ass of the business class was his passion Number by hustle he numbered his muscles Honour by honest he fell down upon us And everybody's acting like they've heard something back From my baby, my baby and me
A
D
A
E
Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes
A
D
A
E
I love you always
Standing in the sunlight some might say That her hair was falling down from the building that day The silvery ball was down by the bridge And she used to take pills in the woods where she lived And everybody's acting like they've heard something back From my baby, my baby and me Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes I love you, always
Sequence changes here for two lines, but goes back to the original
A
E
D
E
The man you scorned is self revived He hides his reproach with a hollow pride And everyone's a ghost as the lesson dies
F#m
E
And it's fun, to be a dirty son
One day at the bottom of the hill where they play She lost a golden coin and the troll would not trade her They say she lost a fortune and she lost it to her And then he grew despondent 'cause she would not desert him He laid out his hand and said "make me an offer" Then she asked the troll for just how much did it cost her You got to have money, you got to have money Then he told the troll that you got to have money You've got to have money, you've got to have money Girl you tell your daddy that he's got to have money Castles and tassels and flatulent assholes And you got to have money, you got to have money


Cigarette Burns Forever

C
Em
Cigarette burns forever
F
C
The message is spliced together
C
Em
Now I would never let her
F

But where did people go to get her?
C
Em
You took me to the private party
F
C
And swore that they would not cart me
C
Em
Drive careful lest they hear you
F
G
G7
When all the time they learnt to fear you
C
Em
The sidewinder drinks and gambles
F
C
The gold-digger strikes his damsels
C
Em
But when I lost the magic sandals
F
G
G7
I said some things I could not handle
C
Em
Going ninety off my star
F
C
So is flashing by as the flame retards
C
Em
Don't you wanna be some other
F
G
G7
And all the people have to drug each other
C
Em
I fell into a life of leisure
F
C
I saw to a path of pleasure
C
Em
And don't it make it that much better
F
G
G7
To find a cigarette burns forever


Computer Show

Oh I stumbled in all wide-eyed To the computer show I didn't have a passport So they turned me into snow They turned me into snow Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Into every store Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Tell me what I'm for Oh I stumbled in all wide-eyed To the computer show I didn't have my passport So they turned me into snow They turned me into snow Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Into every store Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Tell me what I'm for You caught my eye against your eye Deep inside the crowd You hung me from the hooks inside My asshole and my mouth My asshole and my mouth Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Into every store Follow you, follow you, follow you, follow you Tell me what I'm for I stumbled in all wide-eyed To the computer show I didn't have my passport So they turned me into snow They turned me into snow They turned me into snow Take me home with you Take me home with you You needed to read the computer magazine To know that you liked computers To go to the computer show To see me standing there To take me home with you I need to go home with you I can't go home without going home with you

I wanna dance with Emily
Everybody come around to window shop I guess they've never seen the moves I got I wanna be with what the people see I wanna dance with Emily

Emily, sweet baby, won't you be my wife?
D
Cutting me wide open with a kitchen knife
E
Everybody said that she is underage
A7
Honky tried to shoot me with a seven-gauge!
Now I got the cookies that your momma sent I got permission from the government Someone should mention to the minister Now I gotta dance with Jennifer Jenny's got a mouse hole full of pigeon scum On top a mountain made of bubble gum Don't understand what all the grief is for Now I gotta dance with Eleanor Eleanor, I wonder if we move too slow Straight down the hatch beneath the streetlight's glow Baby when I get you on that persian rug That's the kind of movies I've been dreaming of!
Instrumental verse and chorus
I'll tell you something that you'd think I know I got two tickets to the sold out show Some of the fellas like to think I'm Greek I wanna love you maybe three days a week I just don't care about the evening news I never listen to the crackhouse blues I wanna be with what the people see I wanna dance with Emily I wanna dance with Emily

She's a wild one, she'll be staying for a spell Till they find her, then they drag her down To Barcelona! Down to Barcelona! I'm a very funny boy, but I know not to say "cha-cha-cha" Dunkin' Donuts, give me Dunkin' Donuts! She's a very funny girl But I love that crazy bitch, alright!
