VERSE 1
Em G6
How can I fly with these old dogged wings
C7 A7
While the magpie sings some shiny song.
Old corn-face row of teeth she says sweetly to me
In the elevator
Em D C A7
C
Everything seems like a dream, Life's a scream
VERSE 2:
Here come old kerosene hat with his earflaps waxed
A 'courting his girl
Come clattering in here on your old cloven skates
With the devilish spoon
Everything seems like a dream, and life's a scream, when you're submarine.
[ Instrumental Bridge: 2x phrase 1, 1x phrase 2
Mixed up with a combination of strumming, picking, & a few bends ]
