DUCKS FLY TOGETHER - The Smith Street Band

PLEASE NOTE: THIS TAB IS NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT - ALTHOUGH I CANNOT DELETE IT, I
SUGGEST YOU USE VERSION 2 BY "Zacherbery" WHICH IS MUCH BETTER.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: James Kent
The Smith Street Band: http://thesmithstreetband.bandcamp.com/
Tuning: E A C# g b e
(The downtuning of the D string aids the sound of the harmonics)
There is a second guitar which I may tab later, but this seems to be most of
the role of the primary guitar.
Notes enclosed by parenthisis (e.g. "(19)") indicates the string should only
be TOUCHED at this fret, not fully depressed.

Lyrics
------
Verse 1:
I got dry blood caked on my feet
I got dye and dirt all over me
I got twelve bucks, got ciggies
But I've had good luck and I'm happy
You woke me up before your plane left
I helped you find your stuff, you kissed my forehead
We trashed my room, broke my bed
But I've had good luck and I'm happy.
Chorus:
And I miss you but it feels good this way
Let?s fall in love somewhere that you'll wanna stay
I miss you but it?s nice for a change and
You can always stay.
Verse 2:
And we're as happy as ducks in a storm drain
Somewhere off Dynon Road swimming in the rain
You asked me if I was self-conscious
I said ?Of course I am,? you took my clothes off.
Outro:
And I was so scared to talk to your friends
Pretended that I was a real person
Trying to remember names, smiling and nodding
But I couldn't kick the grin from when you'd gone and kissed me quickly in the kitchen.
It?s cool, you can crash in my room while I'm away.
