Alligator Blood Chords by Nicole Dollanganger

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Drinking a cup [E] of alcohol
_ Just _ like the heads and [Am] feet _ we see
We're [A] sailing the local [E] _ _
port
We make _ _ nightglasses out _ of _ _
[A] I'd wear them around my neck
[E] I'm a sucker for the look of the flesh
All things _ rancid and delicate
But the [A] smell and the scent [E] right _ here
_ That _ still gets to [A] _
me
_ _ _ [F#] Deep deep in the _ [G#] moisture _ stream
_ Drank that thing and [E] _
back again
_ Hung [F#] it upside down, slit its [G#] belly _ open
Let [E] _ _ it bleed out
_ _ _ And he [F#] held my head and [G#] made me wash it
[A] And filled my mouth up [G#] with his blood and [C#m] said
_ _ Grow [E] up, _ weed
_ _ Or _ _ grow up _ tall
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ Playing in the swamp [E] of _ alligator blood
We find our house in the marshy wad
He'd _ always hold my hand _ _
Under the water, _ feel it all [A] too
_ _ _ Cause he wanted me to be
Oh, gods, no worry
Oh, _ _ survivor, [Am] no guilt he said
[E] But he calls me his crocodile _ _ tears
_ Oh, chain doors in the [Am] _ _
back
_ [F#] Deep _ deep in the [G#] moisture _ _ stream _
Drank that thing and [E] back again
_ [F#] Hung it upside down, slit its [G#] belly _ _ open
[E] Let _ it bleed out
_ _ _ And he [F#] held my head and _ [G#] made me wash it
[A] And filled my mouth up [G#] with his blood and [A]
said
_ _ Grow [E] up, weed
_ _ _ _ Or _ grow up _ [A] _ _ tall
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I [E] was down
_ Playing in the swamp he said
_ _ _ _ [C#m] I felt the sewer _ [E] _ sound
_ [A] _
Letting the worms _ pass _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
