RICE BIRDS
**** CAPO 1st FRET ****
Are we about ready, All right, Rice birds
C F C C
I was thinkin' of you when the rice birds flew
C F C C
When the false dawn came with morning dew
G C F F
You're a thunderstorm ragin' outside my garage
C F C C
You're the white shirt peekin' through my camouflage
INST: CHORDS AS VERSE
C F C C
I was thinkin' o' you and I won't forget
C F C C
Tail of the turtle and Bayou Tech
G C F F
I cannot dance but I can hang on
C F C C
To some sweet memory up in Oberlin
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/adam_carroll/rice_birds_crd.html ]
C F C C
I was thinkin' o' you at the Mardi Grais
C F C C
Fords and Chevys like I never saw
G C F F
I wish you were here to dance with me
C F C C
To hear this Cajun Symphony
INST: C Am C G C F C C
C F C C
I was thinkin' of you at the L.A. bar
C F C C
Where I got so drunk I couldn't drive my car
G C F F
I was dreamin' about you with my ten ounce beer
C F C C
Dreamin' sweet daydreams wishin' you were here
C F C C
I was thinkin' of you with the braids in your hair
C F C C
Old Houston, Texas or anywhere
G C F F
I was dreamin' about you and my changin' way
C F C C
I still think about you in my travelling days
C F C C
I was thinkin' of you where the sunset glows
C F C C
Down the Mississippi River where the gulf wind blows
G C F F
I was dreamin' about you in the Fluer-De-Lys
C F C G C
I was wishin' you were next to me
