Sunkeneyed Girl Tab

by Mike Doughty



Comment:  This song is from Mike Doughty's album Smofe + Smang Live In Mpls.  This is a 
album, but all the music is played by an acoustic guitar with no drums or bass.  This 
is not for the slightly more electronic normal version.

Capo on 1st fret, all chords in relation to capo.

Power chords recommended


Sunken-eyed girl in the sandwich shop

Ladle my soup from the kettle pot, so

Swooning my self with the smolder looks

Parsing that gaze for the right intention.
                        
Sunken-eyed girl don't let me go

You're the whole world and you barely know so.


You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking
                 
And fall down stumble

All of the things I think and keep thinking
                
And wake up tremble

All

These tears are bound to fall.


Sunken-eyed girl on the Ludlow Street

Chunky land once but they swept it up, so

Sing'in my mind signing you're so sweet

I need a bundle of dop just to numb it out
                                       
'Cause I'm feeling so good that it hurts my skin

Feeling so good I could do myself in


You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking and
          
Wake up tremble

All of the blinks I blink and keep blinking and
            
Fall down stumble

All

These tears are bound to fall.

                         
I'm
                          
No Prize for you
                        
No trophy too
                                  
Keep walking through
                 
And I'm
                            
Not worth a dime
                    
I'll drag you down
                                   
Don't waste your time

*3rd Verse*


Sunken-eyed girl on Delancy Street

Bulletproof glass in the KFC

So, keep the man safe in his paper hat

Keep the wrong hands off the biscut fortune
                          
Sunken-eyed girl don't let me go

You're the whole world and ya'  barely know so


                         
I'm
                          
No Prize for you
                        
No trophy too
                                  
Keep walking through
                 
And I'm
                            
Not worth a dime
                    
I'll drag you down
                                   
Don't waste your time

*Let the Ab ring for a little at the end...*
