Cross-Eyed Bear - by Damien Rice
Capo on 5th fret
Chords:
G 355340
D* 554030
C/G 332010
C/B 020010
Am7 002010
Like most of Damo's stuff, there are a lot of hammer-ons in the song on the
G string for G chords and on the D string for C and D chords. Also, here's
the gist of how he plays the lead, relative to the capo obviously:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----4-5-7-7-----7/9-7-5-7-----7/9-7-5-4-2-0--------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 1:
G D C/G
I broke your doll,
G D C/G
It was cross eyed, that's all,
G D C/G
I only wanted it to help it see straight,
C/B Am7
But like a half broken moon,
D
Sooner than soon,
Am7
I was up on your wall,
D
Smaller than small,
Am7
In a half painted frame,
D
The wood wouldn't stain,
Am7
And I hope that reminds you,
D G D C/G
Of the part you couldn't change in me,
Chorus:
G D C/G
If you push me I'll fall,
G D C/G
If you pull me I'll drown,
G D C/G
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
C/B Am7 D
I won't rise again
Verse 2:
I scratched your car,
Where the bird left a stain,
But I only wanted to help you see straight,
But like a half broken moon,
Sooner than soon,
I was up on your wall,
Smaller than small,
In a half painted frame,
Where the wood wouldn't stain,
And I hope that reminds you,
Of the part you couldn't change in me,
Chorus:
If you push me I'll fall,
If you pull me I'll drown,
If you're gonna be nailin' me down,
I won't rise again
I won't rise again
Outro:
G D C/G
I'm not God, I'm not God,
I love you but I'm not God...
