the mockingbird & THE CROW Chords by Hardy

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] I grew up in a little town named after another [G] Catchin' bass and cuttin' grass is how I spent
my summers [F] I know it sounds cliche, but it's how I [C] 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 thinkin' now I'm [C] a mockingbird
_ Singin' songs that sound like [G] other songs you've heard
Like Friday nights and headlights on [Dm] some back road red dirt
Now Mississippi's home [F] I've always been a mockingbird
But now I'm a mockingbird with a [C] microphone I _ _ _ _ found myself a contract down on 16th Avenue _
[G] Writin' songs for anyone about anything [C] I knew
[F] I've come a long, long way, but one thing hasn't changed
I'm a _ mockingbird Singin' songs that sound like [G] other songs
you've heard Like Friday nights and headlights on [Dm] some
back road red dirt Now Mississippi's [F] home
I've always been a mockingbird But now I'm a mockingbird with a microphone
I'm _ a mockingbird with a [G] microphone _ _ With 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 Kiss the ring once in a while
Don't say those words Put down your [Eb] finger
Throw in a slow love song or two [C] Well, _ that's too good
The way I sing may not [Eb] be pretty May not be music to [F] your ears
But when these wings roll through your city My [G] last name is on [C] your ear
And I refuse to [Eb] be another Mockingbird with [F] a microphone
I'll fly the line which is too broader Even if that makes [C] me the crow
The crow, the crow Even if that makes me [Eb] the crow
The crow, [C] the crow, the crow _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, do that, do this
Unclench your [Eb] fist You're too loud, too proud
It won't [F] work Or sound bad
Twenty-five [C] thousand rednecks For my dumb face from their police shirt
The way I sing may not [Eb] be pretty May not be music to [F] your ears
But when these wings roll through your city My [Eb] last name is on [C] your ear
And I refuse [Cm] to be [Bb] another Mockingbird with a [F] microphone
I'll fly the line which is too broader [C] Even if that makes me the crow
The crow, the crow Even [D] if that makes me [Eb] the crow
The crow, [C] _ the crow
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] I'm a _ mockingbird
Singing songs that sound like [Eb] other songs you've heard
Like Friday night, midnight, _
[F] road rip
And now Mississippi, oh
I'm a waiting band of mockingbirds _ _ _
[C] I'm a crow _ _ _ _ _ _
