the mockingbird & THE CROW Chords by Hardy

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] I grew up in a little town named after another [G] Catching bass and cutting grass is how I spent
my summers [F] I know it sounds cliche, but it's how [C] I was
raised And I got my first guitar from a pawn shop
off of Poplar [G] Picked up Sweet Home Alabama and Smoke on
the water [F] And that's what got me out
It's crazy thinking now [C] I'm a _ mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like other [G] songs you've heard
Like Friday nights [C] and headlights on [Dm] some back road red dirt
And how Mississippi's home [F] I've always been a mockingbird
But now I'm a mockingbird [C] with a microphone I _ _ _ _ found myself a contract down on 16th Avenue
[G] Writing songs for anyone about anything [C] I knew
And [F] I've come a long, long way, but one thing hasn't changed
[C]
I'm a _ mockingbird Singing songs that sound like [G] other songs
you've heard Like Friday nights and headlights on [Dm] some
back road red dirt And how Mississippi's [F] home
I've always been a mockingbird But now I'm a mockingbird [C] with a microphone
_ _ _ Mockingbird with a [G] microphone _ _ _ With [C] a [Dm] microphone
_ With a microphone _ With a [C] microphone
_ Do _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ this, do that, that shirt, this [Eb] hat Don't forget to [C] smile, don't forget [F] to bring
[C] what's in the wild Don't say those words, put down your [Eb] finger
If they're in a slow love song or two, [F] well, [C] fuck that
_ The way I sing ain't nothing [Eb] great Ain't nothing new to your [F] ears
The bloody waves roll through your city My [Eb] last grade [G] is all [C] you hear
And I refuse [Gm] to be [Eb] another mockingbird with a [F] microphone
I'll fly the line I choose to run
That makes me [C] the crow, the crow, the crow Even [Bb] if that makes me [Eb] the crow, the crow, [Fm] the crow
The crow, the crow, _ [C] _ the _ _ _ _ _ crow
Well, do that, do this, unclench your [Eb] fist You're too loud, too proud, it won't [F] work
But sound fast, 25 [Fm],000 rednecks from my dumb face on [C] their T-shirt
The way I sing ain't nothing [Eb] great Ain't nothing new to your [F] ears
The bloody waves roll through your city My [Eb] last grade [C] is all you hear
And I refuse [Cm] to be [Bb] another mockingbird [Eb] with [F] _ a microphone
I'll fly the line I choose to run
That makes [Bb] me [C] the crow, the crow, the crow [F] Even [Gm] if that makes me [Eb] the crow, the [Fm] crow, the crow
