Em                Am           D    Dm     EmI caught a string full of fish down by the damn
Em                  Am                F#m               B7I'll drag them back to the field they should be dead by then

Em              Am                D     DmThe night was a chalkboard with a fingernail moon

Em            Am               D       Dm     EmI'll call her Angelina she's a teacher I once had
Em        Am            F#m        B7A halo of honey wrapped around her head
Em                     Am                D Dm    EmAnd she always used to give me some when I was a kid
G                 B7            CI told her that I loved her and then I went and hid

C                  G             CI'll take you into town and I'll show you off
C                        G         CAnd there's room on your dress for a corsage

Em             Am          D     Dm     EmI opened up my almanac and in my head I read
Em                    Am                   F#m           B7Cut your wrist on the fins of the fish and drain all you can
Em                Am          D    Dm       Em   G             B7So I rolled up my sleeves and then began to draw lines just as deep as the
C days are long

Em            Am                  D      Dm      EmI sewed up my wrist and sewed the ground with my blood
Em           Am                        F#m                 B7Stained up my clothes pretty good and I turned that dirt to mud
Em                  Am                D      Dm   EmI couldn't help but close my eyes and lay my body down
G                       B7                C 'Cause I heard it takes forever to grow a woman from the ground
C           G               CI bleed for you now and I'm skinny as a rail
C              G                   CAnd I'll be so obliged to keep you nice and warm and safe
C                   G        Cand won't you be so proud of me
