Verse:
F
Smoke was pulled in ribbons
Bb
From the windows of the car
F Bb
I followed the flash of silver from your teeth
F Bb
Above the tarmac, the lights were icy-green
F Bb
Buried in patterns in your chest a quiet shimmering
F Bb Dm
Little dipper, tiara-shine, a song bird shivering, a thin, thin dime
Chorus:
Dm (Play intro riffs along with line, part A 3 times then part B 1 time)
Smoke like ribbons (x4)
F
Songs were pulled like ribbons
Bb
From the window of the car
F Bb
Lost along the shoulders of the highway
F Bb
Cake walk dancers unwind from their spin
F
Singing, Lordy, Lordy loved him
Bb F
Stark don't give a flat fuck
Lordy, Lordy loved him
Bb F
Stark don't give a flat fuck
Lordy, Lordy loved him
Bbmaj7 Dm
Stark don't give a flat fuck
Dm
Smoke like ribbons (repeat with intro riff until you're done)
That's my take on the song, probably not all that accurate to how it's really played but it works for me!
