Chet Bakers Unsung Swan Song Chords by David Wilcox

[N] _ _ [G#m] _ [B] _ _ [F] _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] [B] My _ old _ _ addiction _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Changed the [C#m] wiring in my brain
[E] _ _ [D#m] So that _
[B] when it [G#m] turns the [G#] switches
_ [G#m] _ _ [C#m] _
_ [B] Then I am not [F#] the same
_ _ _ [B] _ _
So like the flowers toward the sun
I will follow [E] and _ stretch myself out thin
[Em] _ _ [C#m] Like [B] there's a part of [D#m] me [B] that's [A#] _
already _ [E] buried
[C#] _
That [B] sends me out [C#] into [F#] this wind
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ My old addiction
_ _ _ [E] _
Is a flood upon the land
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D#m] This tiny lifeboat [G#] can _ keep me [E] dry
_ [F#]
But my weight is all that it can stand
_ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ So when I try to lean just a little _
[E] _ Or just a splash [Em] to cool my feet
_ [B] _ _
Ah, that trickle [G#m] _
turns out _ [F#] fickle
Fills my boat [F#m] up five [F#] _ miles deep
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ My [B] old _ _ addiction _
Makes me crave only [E] what is _ bad
_ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] Like these just this morning [G#m] songbirds _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _
[B] Craving upward [F#] from the _ [B] nest
These _ _ tiny birds outside my window
_ _ [E] _
Take my hand to be [C#m] their mom
_ _ [B] _ _
These open mouths [G#m] would trust and [E] swallow
[C#] _ _
Anything [B] that [F#] came along
[B] Like _ _ _ _ _ my _ old addiction
_ _ [E] _ _
Now the other side of day
_ _ _ As [D#m] the springtime _ [G#m] of _ my lifetime
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [C#] Turns the other way
_ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ If a swan can have a song _
I think [D#] I know [C#] that tune
[E] _ _ [D#m] But the [B] page is only [G#m] _ scrawl
_ [C#] And I am [B] gone this _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] afternoon
_ The _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
page is only _ scrawl
And I am gone _ [F#] this _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ afternoon
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
