Chet Bakers Unsung Swan Song accords

     C     C7
My old addiction
F6                       Fm6
Changed the wiring in my brain
        C/E                Am9
So that when it turns the switches
Dm9               G7       Cmaj7
Then I am not the same
Cmaj7                              C7
So like the flowers toward the Sun
              F6
I will follow
                   Fm6
Stretch myself out thin
               C/E             Am9
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
    Dm9                     G7      C
That sends me out into this window

 C       C7      F6
My old addiction
                    Fm6
Is a flood upon the land
C/E
This tiny lifeboat
    Am
Can keep me dry
Dm
But my weight is all
            G7
That it can stand
Cmaj7             C7
So when I try to lean just a little
F6                   Fm6
For just a splash to cool my feet
         C/E
Ahh that trickle
          Am9
Turns out fickle
Dm9
Fills my boat up
G7
Five miles deep

Cmaj7  C7  F6  Fm6  C/E  Am9  Dm9  G7

   C            C7
My old addiction
                    F6          Fm6
Makes me crave only what is best
          C/E                       Am9
Like these just this morning song birds
Dm9            G7
Craving upward from the nest
C                           C7
These tiny birds outside my window
F6                    Fm6
Take my hand to be their mom
C/E
These open mouths
      Am9
Would trust and swallow
Dm9                G7
Anything that came along

C
            C7
Like my old addiction
F6                   Fm6
Now the other side of Day
C/E
As the springtime
   Am9             Dm9
Of my life's time
                G7
Turn's the other way
C           C7
If a swan can have a song
F6                  Fm6
I think I know that tune
C/E                  Am9
But the page is only scrawled
Dm9      G7
And I am gone this afternoon

Cmaj7  C7  F6  Fm6

        C/E          Am9
But the page is only scrawled
          Dm9 G7
And I am gone    this afternoon

C9
