Tyler Childers - Feathered Indians
Capo 5
[Intro]
D   A   Gx2
[Verse 1]
Well, my Dbuckle makes impressions on the iAnside of her thigh
There are Glittle feathered Indians where we tussled through the night
If I'd Dknown she was religious then I woAuldn't have came stoned
To the hGouse of such an angel too fucked up to get back home
[Interlude]
D A G
[Verse 2]
Lookin' Dover West Virginia, smoking Aspirits on the roof
She asked ain't Ganybody told ya that them things are bad for you
I said mDany folks have warned me, there's been Aseveral people try
But up till nGow there ain't been nothing that I couldn't leave behind
[Chorus]
A7Hold me close, my Gdear
A7Sing your whisperin' Gsong
A7softly in my Gear
and A7I will sing Galong
Honey, tell me how your Bmlove rAuns trGue
and how I Bmcan always Acount on Gyou
Ato be there when the bullets fly
I'd Grun across the Griver just to Ghold you toDnight
[Interlude]
D   A   Gx2
[Verse 3]
Well, my Dheart is sweatin' bullets from the ciArcles it has raced
Like a Glittle feathered Indian calling out the clouds for rain
I go rDunnin' through the thicket, I go Acareless through the thorns
just to Ghold her for a minute, though it'd leave me wanting more
[Chorus]
A7Hold me close, my Gdear
A7Sing your whisperin' Gsong
A7softly in my Gear
and A7I will sing Galong
Honey, tell me how your Bmlove rAuns trGue
and how I Bmcan always Acount on Gyou
Ato be there when the bullets fly
I'd Grun across the Griver just to Ghold you toDnight
[Outro]
D   A   Gx2
