Teeth in the Grass - Iron & Wine
Standard Tuning (E A D G B E)
Written by Sam Beam

This is my first attempt at tabbing anything so I apologize if there are any
small errors, but this sounds about perfect to me.
Anyway, this is one of the most underrated Iron & Wine songs.  Nice and fast with
a little bit of a menacing sound to it.  Here goes!

Capo on the 2nd

Lyrics:
And when you give me your clothes
And when we�re lovers at last
Fresh air, perfume in your nose
There will be teeth in the grass

And when you give me your house
When we�re all brothers at last
There will be food in our mouths
There will be teeth in the grass

And when there�s nothing to want
When we�re all brilliant and fast
When all tomorrows are gone
There will be teeth in the grass
