D G


[Verse 1]

D     
Two rocks, a hammer
         G 
and some chains to
       D  
tie my hands 

D
Two boots, the dirt, some food 
     G
some land to 
       D  
dig it in 

D
I cut the wood
tear down
        G
build up for 
        D
moving in 

D
A hole, the mud, a pipe 
         G
look out I'm 
         Em
getting in 


[Chorus 1]

Em                            G
Wash your hands and clean the floor 
                       Em
Get some money for the store
                        G 
Move the papers on your desk
                           D
Breathe some air into your head 


[Verse 2]

D  
Pop the bubble 
         G
concrete feet will 
         D
hold you here 

D
Fall in the lake 
        G
then go fishing  
         D
Little Bear 

D
Rest your bones 
         G
upon the seashore 
      D
Salt tears 

D
I'll trade 
this lucky key 
         G
the next time 
         Em
you are near 


[Chorus 2]

Em                     G  
Stop that buzzing over there
                                 Em 
Stretch your bones and wash your hair
Change your strings 
          G
Dust your wings 
Sing a song 
               D
Sharpen your sting 


[Verse 3]

D                     G
There's a baby in the bucket 
      D
of my eye

D                     G
Plastic dolls holding Mary 
        D
will be enough 

D
There are mermaids 
           G
they can't follow 
        D
on the shore 

D
There are hermits 
         G
wet from swimming 
       Em
drying off 


[Chorus 3]

Em                      G
Call the plastic wooden doves
                                Em 
Give them wings and they'll fly off
                    G 
Lucky ones will get away 
                       D
Smoking signals on the cake
