Dimmer Tab

by Bishop Allen


All power chords, all played like barre chords except where indicated.  There's a 
serious lack of Bishop Allen up here, I thought I'd make my contribution.

                  
Am I dimmer every day?
                   
Am I just a little glimmer
                    
like a tiny bobbing head
            
of an ocean swimmer?
         
Olly olly oxen free
             
Can you see me?

  (open)    (7th fret)

Do I slowly get erased
as I slowly eat my dinner?
Though my stomach might agree
I'm hardly getting thinner
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?

                   
I would choose the darkest horse
                    
That's the horse I'd ride
                    
The stables would be shadowy
                       
and we'd start the race behind

       
They'd take their feet
    
and toss their hats
               
and yell out in surprise
                
You wouldn't need binoculars

You'd see it with your own two eyes

Am I dimmer every day?
Am I shrinking, am I shrinking?
Can you recognize my thoughts?
Do you care what I am thinking?
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?

You see me now
but it takes a lot of squinting
and there isn't any shade
and the sun is unrelenting
Olly olly oxen free
Can you see me?

I would choose the darkest horse
That's the horse I'd ride
The stables would be shadowy
and we'd start the race behind

They'd take their feet
and toss their hats
and yell out in surprise
You wouldn't need binoculars
You'd see it with your own two eyes
