JACKRABBITS
CAPO 5
I was Asus2tired o' being Gdrunk
My Emface cracked like a jCoke
So I Gswung through here like a Dbrace of jackrabbits
With their Fnecks all Cbroke
I sAmtumbled at the Gdoor with my boot
And EmI knocked against the jCamb
And I Gscrabbled at your chest Dlike a mute
With my Ffists of haCm
(      G  A)              Em  C  
Trying to tell you that I am
EmTelling you CI can
GI G/F#can      EmlBbmaj7ove you agGain
Love Fyou aGgain
I'm Amsquinting towards tGhe East
My fEmaith makes me a Cdope
But you can Gtake my hand in the dDarkness, darling
Like a Flength of rCope
I Amshaped up Governight, you know
The Emday after she dCied
When I Gsaw my heart, and I Dtell you, darling
It was Fopen Gwide
 (      G  A)              Em  C  
Trying to tell you that I am
EmTelling you CI can

But Emnever change in Csize
Well, the Gwater, it runs dDeep, my darling
Where it Fdon't run Cwide
The Amfeather of a Ghawk was bound
BEmound around my Cneck
A Gpoultice made of Dfig
The eager little Fvultures Cpeck
And the Amverse I read in Gjest
And EmMatthew spoke to Cme
Said, there's a Gflame that moves like a Dlow-down pest
That says, "yoFu will be Cfree"

I'm squinting towards the East

Em C

My faith makes me a dope

But never change in size

Well, the water, it runs deep, my darling

Where it don't run wide

The feather of a hawk was bound

Bound around my neck

A poultice made of fig

F C

The eager little vultures peck

And the verse I read in jest

Em C

And Matthew spoke to me

That says, "you will be free"
