[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

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

Oh, the sweat

down

No matter
what time
