verse:
Cadd9 Am/C
saw a rising red lung
Cadd9 Gmadd4
glisten under the sun
Cadd9 Gmadd4
i wonder when it will pop
Fadd4 (only one bar)
in the snow
Cadd9 Am/C
the melodys a mistake
Cadd9 Gmadd4
an embrace at the wake
Cadd9 Gmadd4
how long does it take
Fadd4
for us to know
Cadd9 Am/C
i want a wig thats been blown
Cadd9 Gmadd4
by something unknown
Cadd9 Gmadd4
buried under a mile
Fadd4
of snow
Cadd9 Am/C
found a fix for the fits
Cadd9 Gmadd4
come listen to this
Cadd9 Gmadd4
as intimate as a kiss
Fadd4
over a phone
Dm9
and it goes
instrumental:

*(important note: i think this is what Jeff Tweedy is actually playing during the
instrumental, but I suggest picking or strumming the chords if playing alone…i will note the
chord shapes at the bottom)

Cadd9 Am/C

Cadd9 Gmadd4
come listen to this
Cadd9 Gmadd4
its buried under the hiss
Fadd4 (only one bar)
and It glows
Cadd9 Am/C
like a powerful smile
Cadd9 Gmadd4
a car radio dial
Cadd9 Gmadd4
as intimate as a kiss
Fadd4
over a phone
