Speechless Chords by Laurie Anderson

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It was August, _ _ _ summer of 82
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ You [Db] had that rusty old car [Eb] _ and me
I had nothing better to do
_ _ [F]
You picked me [Ab] up, _ we hit the road
_ Baby, me and you _
_ _ _ [Db] We shot out of town, [C] _ _ driving fast and hard
_ Leaving our greasy skid marks _ in _ people's _ [Cm] backyards
We were going nowhere, _ _ just driving around
[Eb] _ _
_ [C] We [Cm] were going circles
And me, _ I was just hanging on _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Like in that Annie Dillard book _
Where she sees that eagle with _ the skull of a weasel hanging from its [B] neck
_ [Cm] _
Here's how it happened, listen
_ _ [Ab] _
[Cm] Eagle _ _ _ fights the weasel
_ _ _ Weasel [Cm] fights back
_ _ _ _ _ They fly _ to _ _ nowhere _
_ _ _ [Eb] Weasel keeps [C] hanging on
_ _ _ Together, _ forever
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] We were going nowhere, _ just driving around _
_ _ _ You did all the talking, and me, _ _ I didn't make a sound _
_ _ _ And if I open my mouth now, _ _ I'll fall to the ground _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ And if [Cm] I open my mouth now, there's so much I'd say _ _ _
[C] _ Like I can never be honest
_ [Cm] Like I'm in it for the thrill
_ Like I never loved anyone
_ _ _ And I [G] never will
_ _ _ _ [Cm] You did all _ _ _ the talking, and me, I didn't make a sound _
_ _ _ Weasel fights back _
_ _ _ _ They fly _ to _ _ nowhere _ _
Weasel [Eb] _ [D] keeps [C] hanging on
_ _ Together, _ forever
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ remember that old club _ _
_ _ My grandma used to wear
_ _ _ _ _ Made of weasel
_ _ Biting each other's tail
_ _ A vicious circle _ _
_ An endless line _ _ _
On the back of an old woman _ _ _
[Cm] Eagle fights _ _ _ the weasel _ _ _ _
Weasel fights back _ _ _ _
They fly _ _ _ to nowhere
_ _ _ _ Weasel keeps [C] hanging on
_ _ Together, _ forever
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And me, _ _ _ _ _ I'm going in circles
_ Just _ _ circling around _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And if I open my mouth now, _ _ _ _ _ _ I'll fall to the ground _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
