The Dutch Boy
From the album Milk And Scissors
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am C
My heart it goes out to that
F C
poor little Dutch boy
F C
who stopped a great flood
Dm E
with the tip of his thumb
Am C
Through parades and medals
F C
he felt no joy
F C
and took to his bed
E Am
with a bottle of rum
Am
[Verse 2]
Am C
The queen she arrived
F C
in her motorcade
F C
to give the good Dutch boy
Dm E
a commemorative pen
Am C
But he watched as the milkmaids
F C
all withered and grayed
F C
and he knew that the waters
E Am
must rise again
[Interlude]
Am C F C F C Dm E
Am C F C F C E Am
[Verse 3]
Am C
Because the world is made up
F C
of milk and scissors
F C
milk and scissors
Dm E
in a spiraling chain
Am C
Milk and scissors
F C
like a cheap squirting flower
F C
milk and scissors
E Am
like worms when it rains
[Outro]
