Iron And Wine “Flightless Bird American Mouth” (Wedding Version) Guitar Chords

(**The capo is on the 4th fret for the wedding version only!

Standard Tuning w/
*CAPO ON 4* 


(*I single strum the entire 1st 
verse and 1st chorus*)

 
        C
I was a quick wet boy
           Am
Diving too deep for coins
            F
All of your street light eyes
           G
Wide on my plastic toys
             C
And when the cops closed the fair
         Am
I cut my long baby hair
               F
And stole me a dog-eared map
                  G
And called for you everywhere




       C           Am     
Have I found you?  Flightless bird
F         G          
Jealous,  weeping or
C          Am
Lost you?  American mouth
F        
Big pill, 
G
Looming


(*Slow soft strumming through to the end*)

          C
Now I'm a fat house cat
           Am
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
             F
Watching the warm poison rats
                 G
Curl through the wide fence cracks
           C
Pissin' on magazine 
              Am                          
Photos, those fishing lures, thrown in the 
F              
Cold and clean blood of Christ
G           
Mountain stream


       C           Am 
Have I found you?  Flightless bird
F         G
Grounded, bleeding or
C          Am
Lost you?  American mouth
F         G          C
Big pill, stuck going down, 



Am F G
Oooh..... 
C Am F G
Oooh.... 
C Am F G 
Oooh...
C Am F  G  C -once 
Oooh....

About LLG♥

Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist.   I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by.  Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)

I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar.  So many of them were just wrong!   I started making correct versions and it just grew from there.   I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site.  (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, and I’m still in the top 10.  Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many, many years!)

In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs.  I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct.  This makes a huge difference for new players!  I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :)  My capo is my best friend!!  (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one!  It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now!  Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)

Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive!  :)
