Bishop Allen
Dimmer
Grrr...
The existing tab had some correct bits, but this tab is absolutely correct.
Am I dimmer eveAry day?
                   Dbm/Ab  
Am I just a little glimmer
like a tiny bobbing Ahead
of an ocean Dswimmer?
FOlly olly Aoxen free
ECan you see meA?
Do I slowly geAt erased
              Dbm/Ab  
as I slowly eat my dinner?
Though my stomach might Aagree
I'm hardly getDting thinner
OFlly olly Aoxen free
ECan you see mAe?
Gbm, D, E, A, 
Gbm, D, E, 
I would choose the Adarkest horse
DThat's the horse I'd Aride
The Estables would be Ashadowy
and we'd Dstart the race Ebehind
They'd Gbmtake their feet
and Dtoss their hats
and Ayell out in Esurprise
GbmYou wouldn't need bDinoculars
EYou'd see it with your own two eyes
Am I diAmmer every day?
              Dbm/Ab  
Am I shrinking, am I shrinking?
Can you recognize mGbmy thoughts?
Do you caDre what I am thinking?
FOlly olly oxen Afree
ECan you seAe me?
[Same chords]
You see me now
but it takes a lot of squinting
and there isn't any shade
and the sun is unrelenting
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?
[Same chords as for first verse]
I would choose the darkest horse
That's the horse I'd ride
The stables would be shadowy
and we'd start the race behind
They'd take their feet
and toss their hats
and yell out in surprise
You wouldn't need binoculars
You'd see it with your own two eyes 
La-da-da-da's:
A, Dbm/Ab, A, D, F, A, E, A.
