King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 Chords by Neutral Milk Hotel

_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F]
When you were young [C] you were the king of [Bb] carrot [F] flowers
And how you built the [C] towers tumbling [Bb] through the _ [C]
trees
In holy [E] rattlesnakes that [Bb] fell all around [F] your feet
_ [Em] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
And your mom would stick a [Em] fork right into [Bb] daddy's [F] shoulder
And dad would throw the [C] garbage all [Bb] across the [C] floor
As we would lay and [Bb] learn what each other's [F] bodies were for
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
And this is the room one [C] afternoon I knew [Bb] I could love [F] you
And from above you how [C] I sank into [Bb] your soul
[C]
Into that secret [Bb] place where no one dares [F] to go
_ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F]
And your mom would drink until [C] she was no [Bb] longer speaking
[F]
And dad would dream of all [C] the different ways [Bb] to die
[C]
Each one a little more [D] than [Bb] he could dare [F] to try
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
