Intro:  G Edim Cmaj7 G  x 2

            Edim     Cmaj7     G       Em
It's always locusts or floods or drought
              Cmaj7      G
And then it's parties or prayer
   Edim              Cmaj7    G  Em
He picks a girl he can live without
             Cmaj7     G
And puts her down over there


       Em                 Am7             G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore
       Em            Am7            G              D
Philly drinks and he drinks all the drunks hit the floor
       Em                A7           Em              
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown

 
       Edim       Cmaj7   G   Em
Congratulations you hit the mark
            Cmaj7       G
You got the bird on the wing
        Edim  C           G
The animatronic bloodhounds bark
Em            Cmaj7        G
  The wind up mockingbirds sing


       Em                 Am7              G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore
       Em                 Am7          G          D
Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before
       Em                 A7         Em
Philly sinks, but now the glass is a girl
            A7        Cmaj7 G F Am G
And now the girl is a frown


Em                        A
  But you can put in your orb
                       C 
What you're hoping for more
         G             F               C        Em
Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around
                       A                             C
And if the rowing gets dull just knock a hole in the hull
            G     F           C   G Em G Em G Cmaj7 G
And let the ocean swallow you down


       Em                 Am7             G       D
Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore
       Em               Am7         G            D
Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore
       Em                A7           Em
Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
        A7          Cmaj7 G F Am G
And you do you both drown
