CHORDS: Penelope Scott – Cemetery Pigeons Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]

C Am Dm G
C Am Dm G

[Verse 1]
         C
Cemetery pigeons,
checking
        Am
out the graves
         Dm
Cemetery pigeons,
leaving little
footprints on
    G
the dirt
Beside the paved
 walkway
    C
Cemetery pigeons,
 are you
     Am
from abroad?
            Dm
Do you ever think
about the pigeons
            G
that you've lost?
              Am
I don't wanna be
here
I don't wanna go
F7
home
              G
I don't wanna take
 up
         Em
any more space
I don't wanna just
Am        E7
b*tch and moan
         Am
Cemetery pigeons,
house
            C
pets of the dead
             G
Where do you go
when the
lake is frozen
And you've got
Am
no stupid
    G
red hat for your
            Am     A7
little grey head?

[Verse 2]
         C
Cemetery pigeons,
 phantom
Am
skunks, whoa
Dm
Howls and wails and
necropolis snails
        G
And the young
postmodern
 punks exhale
    Am
cigarette smoke
A cold blueberry
F
cloud
         G
During a weird
brief stint,
  B7          Bm7
I smoked that shit
       Am
On the delivery
route
        Em
 out of town
It felt so
F7
unimportant,
 but I
Am     G
really f**king
C
tried
"I could do
so much
E7
better if
I knew how to do
 it",
I cried
          Am
While the anarchists
               G
danced and got high
They sang "f**k
    F7
the city"
And I'm always
caught
   C
in between
E
One more smokey
Em
apartment
and the
Am
liberal American
G
Dream
Oh, cemetery
F
pigeons,
 my
         Cmaj7
 head is f**ked
         Em
If I had wings
like you,
I'd probably
walk around with
     Am      G
them tucked

[Verse 3]
         C
Cemetery pigeons,
  Em  A
I met God
            D
She was the red
 couch
I tripped on
Right through the
 wall and
A
out and into the
 lawn
With the
       Am
metaheuristics,
the syntactic
            F7
soul of the ants
No more need
    G
for cars
and trucks and
  B7
unfortunate f**ks
         Am
Stuck going the
same
       Em
way in traffic

G     Em
Party crashers
crash
    A
my party

a little
        F#
 bit of mystery
Bm    A    Dm
Spit saliva in
  F#
my coffee,
Bm          A
we'll write history
        F#m     F#
Oh, the sweat inside
 my
 mask drips down
  D     E      F#
into my liquor mouth
          Bm
The dirty Covid
Martini is a
A       F#
popular drink

E7        A
gonna run out
D7
Party crashers
 Am

my party,
 B7

D        E
Ants and friends

and chain link
fences
D       E7
I'm all ready
   A
to go
        F#m
Oh, the sweat
  F#
inside
 my mask drips
 down
  D     E
into my guilty
F#
mouth
        Bm
The mad dog
 Martini is a
 A       F#
 popular drink
         D
From the north
all the
E
way to the
A
south
Bm
No matter
what time
       A
you're out
