Courtney Barnett

Small Poppies

by Courtney Barnett
Courtney Barnett

Biography:

Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer/songwriter originally from Sydney, New South Wales; later moving to Hobart, Tasmania[/placeform] where she began performing music in 2006 before relocating to Melbourne in 2010.

Barnett puts a lot of effort into sounding effortless. Her songs are wild and wooly and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she’s making them up on the spot.

Barnett was originally a part of several bands, including Immigrant Union and The Olivettes before focusing on her solo work.

In intro you can play |G Daug|x4 but I think that the following chords also fit well.

[Intro]

|G Daug|Gmaj7 Daug|G6 Daug|G Daug|

[Verse 1]
G Daug
I stare at the lawn it's Wednesday morning
G Daug
It needs a cut but I'll leave it growing
G Daug
All different sizes and all shades of green
G Daug
Slashing it down just seems kinda mean

[Bridge]

|G5 |G Daug|G Daug|

[Verse 2]
G Daug
In a way it's a shame
G Daug
You get away thinking it's just a game
G Daug G Daug
Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?
G Daug
At the end of the day
G Daug
It's a pain that I keep seeing your name
G Daug G Daug
But I'm sure it's a bore being you

[Bridge]

|G5 |G Daug|G Daug|

[Chorus]
G5
I don't know quite who I am
G Daug
Oh but man I am trying
G5 G Daug
I make mistakes until I get it right
G5
An eye for an eye
G Daug
For an eye for an eye
G5
I don't agree with that
G Daug
Why can't we just talk nice?

[Solo]

|G Daug|x4

[Verse 3]
G
Oh the calamity
Daug G Daug
I wanna go to sleep for an eternity...
G Daug G Daug
Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
G
Oh the humanity
Daug G Daug
I wanna disappear into obscurity...
G D6 G Daug
But I'm sure it's a bore being you

[Bridge]

|G5 |G Daug|G Daug|

[Chorus]
G5
I don't know quite who I am
G Daug
Oh but man I am trying
G5 G Daug
I make mistakes until I get it right
G5
An eye for an eye
G Daug
For an eye for an eye
G5 G Daug
I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright

[Solo]

|G Daug|x12

[Chorus]
G5
I don't know quite who I am
G Daug
Oh but man I am trying
G5 G Daug
I make mistakes until I get it right
G5
An eye for an eye
G Daug
For an eye for an eye
G5 G Daug
I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire

[Solo]

|G Daug|x12

[Outro]

|G Daug|x16 G
