wind-up

capo 3^rd chord formations

F#m, E, Dm, C

Am, C, G, F

my cat’s gone, my wife’s gone too

I quit my job, I don’t know what to do

I keep meeting strange women, they call me on the phone

I’m trapped inside my neighbor’s well, I’m down here all alone

there’s men outside my room, they’re standing by the tree

they bury something there, but what it is I can’t quite see

I want to dig it up, perhaps I’ll find something unique

dumbstruck by what it is, it seems I’ve lost my will to speak

CHORUS:

and the wind up bird, he winds the spring so tight

I look up to be sure, but he stays just out of sight

the cover’s on the well, I see no trace of light

and if I want her back, I know I’ll have to fight

I’m back in this hotel, I’m fighting in the dark

he slashes with his knife, the gash will probably leave a mark

and though I have my bat, this outlook’s pretty stark

a desperation swing, I knock this one out of the park
