Kerosene Hat

<intro: Em - C - G - D, Em - C - G - D, Em - D - C - A, bass: G,A,B,C>

Em                       C
How can I fly with these old doggy wings
        G                 D
While a magpie sings some shiny song
    Em                             C
Old cornface row of teeth she says sweetly to me
       G        D
In the elevator

    Em         D            C
    Everything seems like a dream
        A               <bass: G,A,B,C>
    And life's a scream

Here come old kerosene hat
With his earflaps waxed, a'courtin his girl
Come clatter in here on your old cloven skates
With that devilish spoon

    Em         D            C
    Everything seems like a dream
        A               <bass: G,A,B,C>
    And life's a scream
    When you're submarine

<solo verse and chorus>

So don't you bother me, death, with your leathery ways
And your old chaise lounge
A wickerman's fence of heathery tires
And the cook's gone bad, started several fires

    Everything seems like a dream
    When you're submarine

Head like a stream she says softly to me
From the rattling chair
Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows
My medicine lamp

    Everything seems like a dream
    So life's a scream
