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 straight blind 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 bill looming
Verse 2:
C
Now Im a fat house cat
Am
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
F
Watching the warm poison rats
G
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
C
Kissing on magazine photos
Am
F
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
G
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Chorus:
C
Have I found you?
Am
F
G
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
C
Or lost you?
Am
American mouth
F
G
Big bill, still going down
