The Weakerthans - My favourite chords

They're tearing up s^Gtreets again.^Cadd9 They're building a ^D7new hot^Del. The Mayor's out k^Gilling kids^Cadd9 to keep tax^D7es down, ^D and me and my a^Gnger sit^Cadd9 folding a p^D7aper bird, ^D letting the c^Gurtains turn^Cadd9 to beating wings.^{D7 D}

Wish I had a s^Cadd9ocket-set to dismantle this m^Gorning^G/F#. ^Em7 And just one pair of ^Cadd9clean socks. And a photo of y^D7ou. ^D

Bring your swiss-^Cadd9army knife, and a bottle of s^Gomething^G/F#, ^Em7 and I'll bring some s^Cadd9praypaint and a new deck of c^D7ards. ^D

Hey I found the s^Gafest place^Cadd9 To keep all our t^D7enderness.^D Keep all our b^Gad ideas. ^Cadd9 Keep all our h^D7ope. ^D It's here in the s^Gmallest bones ^Cadd9 The feet and the ^D7inner-ear.^D It's such an e^Gnormous thing^Cadd9 To walk and to listen.^{D7 D}

You are a r^Gadio.^Cadd9 You are an o^D7pen door.^D I am a f^Gaulty string^Cadd9 Of blue christmas ^D7lights.^D You swim through f^Grequencies.^Cadd9 You let that st^D7ranger i^Dn, as I'm blinking o^Gff and^Cadd9 on and off again.^{D7 D}
