"Driftwood: A Fairy Tale"
(intro after spoken part)
Bb D Eb D x5
Bb D
So he would sulk and drink and mope
Eb D Bb
and cross his arms and hope to die.
Bb D Eb
And then a fairy came one night
D Bb
to bring this sorry boy to life.
Bb D
She pulled some strings
Eb
and spun him about.
D
That boy sprang up
Bb
and began to shout,
Bb D Eb D Bb
"My arms, my legs, my heart, my face they're alive!"
Emaj9
And she would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
What have I done?
FmMaj7 Emaj9
You're no lover, and I'm no fighter."
Bb
The story goes on
Bb D Eb
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
D Bb
to show he was for real.
Bb D Eb
And she would take those gifts and kisses
D Bb
though just stringing him along.
Bb D Eb
She knew about those wooden boys-
D Bb
it's an empty love to fill the void.
Bb D Eb D
"Pinocchio! Oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
Bb Emaj9
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
C3mMaj7
I'll prove it to you!"
FmMaj7
But then it grew
Emaj9
He had grown tired of her
Bb D Eb D
So it was true
Bb D
He left her apartment
Eb D Bb
And he walked all night long
Bb D Eb D Bb D
'til he was stopped by the shore of the ocean.
Eb D Bb Emaj9
But still he walked on, amongst the whales
Emaj9
and the waves, and screamed
Emaj9
"Liar, liar!"
Bb D Eb
And his wooden body floated away.
D Bb
He just drifted away.
Bb D Eb D Bb
And now I wonder how I was made...
Bb D Eb D
my arms, my legs, my heart, my face,
Bb Emaj9
my name is Driftwood.
