Capo VI
This song follows seamlessly on from Anais' song Wilderland,
and they work amazingly played together.
The chords Anais plays in the verse part are:
Em (022000), C (332010), and the same as the C chord but two frets up (554020).
For the chorus bit the best I can make out for the chords are: A, (002220),
unknown chord one (x3434x), unknown chord two (x4545x), and Am (002210).
Intro: Em, C, (554020)

Hungry as a prairie dog

CCome of age of alcohol

Raven in a field of rye
With a black and roving eye

He put me out into the street
He didn't give a damn for me
Did not give a damn
DadEmdy, daddy, gonna wCish you never had me

Young man in Americ-kay
EmMaybe I'll climb the stairs
CWith the girl with golden hair
(554020)
Hold her like a sword and shield
Up against this lonely world

There's a hollow in my bones
Make me cry and carry onEm
Make the foam fly from my Ctongue
Make me want what I want
(554020)
Another wayward son
Waiting on oblivionEm
Waiting for a kingdom come to mCeet me in my sin
(554020)
Waiting to be born again
Mother kiss me cheek and chin
EmMmm, a little nedicine
C (554020)
Mmm, I'm gonna shed my skin
Mmm, and let me climb back in the bed you made me Emin
I'm new to guitar, so I'm sure this can be improved,
if you have suggestions they'd be appreciated!
