Mockingbird (Cifras)

 Intro part changed to include the changing bass notes and the chords Ruston plays before the verse.



Pretty much every time the Am7 is played he plays the riff thing.

[Verse]



D

Pretty wings, you're the prettiest thing

            C

You're like Parker Posey in a magazine

     G                                  Am7

With faded jeans and a crop top back in '93



D

I wanna be your dressed-in-black

     C

Your dark star with a backwards hat

          G                                       Am7

I'm gonna write a book and put your name on every page

      C

Every page





[Chorus]



C                 G

Hey pretty little mockingbird

D                 Em   D

Keep singin' them sad, sad songs

C               G

There's already rain on my window

    D              Em      D

I'm dyin' when the morning comes

C                G

Flew away in the night with the raven

D                      Em      D

Now I'm underneath the willows hangin'

C              G                D

I'm too strung out to be upside down

C             D                      Am7

Pretty little mockingbird, sing me a song





[Verse]



D

I was the desert, honey, you were the sand

        C

I was a bird, baby, you were the branch

      G                                            Am7

And I flew into the blue and watched those flowers dyin'



D

It wasn't much, just everything

             C

You could've sat right there and got high with me

        G                                         Am7

But you fell asleep and your dreamin' brought the nightmares

            C

Brought the nightmares





[Chorus]



C                 G

Hey pretty little mockingbird

D                 Em   D

Keep singin' them sad, sad songs

C               G

There's already rain on my window

    D              Em      D

I'm dyin' when the morning comes

C                G

Flew away in the night with the raven

D                      Em      D

Now I'm underneath the willows hangin'

C              G                D

I'm too strung out to be upside down

C                    D               Am7

Pretty little mockingbird, sing me a song





C                 G

Hey pretty little mockingbird

D                 Em   D

Keep singin' them sad, sad songs

C               G

There's already rain on my window

    D              Em      D

I'm dyin' when the morning comes

C                G

Flew away in the night with the raven

D                      Em      D

Now I'm underneath the willows hangin'

C              G                D

I'm too strung out to be upside down

C             D            C             D

Pretty little mockingbird, pretty little mockingbird

          Am7

Sing me a song
