FIRST SONG
As recorded by Andrew Bird
(From the 2003 Album WEATHER SYSTEMS)
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D
Then it was dusk in Illinois a small boy
A
After an afternoon of carting dung hung
A
Hung on a rail fence, a sapped thing
D
So weary to crying
[Bridge]
Em Em/F# Em
Dark was growing tall
Em/F# Em A
He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear
A
They were calling on his ear
D
They were calling on his ear with what seemed their joy
[Verse 2]
D
Soon the sound was pleasant for a boy
A
Listening in the smoky dusk and nightfall of Illinois
A
And from the fields two small boys came
D
Bearing cornstalk violins
[Bridge]
Em Em/F# Em
So they rubbed the cornstalk bows with resins
Em/F# Em A
And the three just sat there scraping of the joy
D
Of their joy, they're scraping of the joy
[Interlude]
D A D
