PHANTOM LIMB THE SHINS
A D
Foals in winter coats
Bm
White girls of the North,
G D
File past one, five and one
D
They are the fabled lambs,
E
Of Sunday ham,
Bm
The ancients know
A D
And they can float above the grass,
A
In circles if they tried,
G D
A latent power I know they hide,
D
To keep some hope alive,
E Bm
That a girl like I could ever try,
A
Could ever try.
F#m D E
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
F#m
A phantom and a fly,
F# D E
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.
A D
And weakened falling eyes,
Bm
In cheap shots from the tribe,
G D
And we're off to Nemarcas porch again
D E
Another afternoon with the goat-head tunes,
Bm
And pilfered booze.
A D
We wandered through her mama's house,
A
And the milk from the window lights,
G D
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
D
This is that foreign land,
E
With the sprayed on tans,
Bm
And it all feels fine,
A
Be it silk or slime
F#m D E
So, when they tap our Monday heads,
F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
F#m
To far along in our climb
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.
A D E
oooh wooh-ooh wooh-ooh ( x3 )
F#m D E
So, when they tap our Sunday heads,
F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F# D E
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F#m D E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
F#m
To fall along in our crime,
F# D E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.
A D E
oooh wooh-ooh wooh-ooh ( x8 )
