Chords for Fred Eaglesmith-Wilder Than Her

[C#] From the frozen north, Pundren Michael Murphy, ladies [A] and gentlemen!
Meet [C#] our friend, Little Gert!
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you so much. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] Oh yeah, make me play after that guy.
_ _ Rock _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ and roll history. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ All these guys have big, [G] huge, _ uh_
[E] Cuts, they call them.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That's my interest.
_ _ _ [E] _ [A] And_
And they _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ all_ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[C] And they all have these huge royalty checks come in_
All the [E] time. _ _
_ _ And [C#] I don't have a lot of those [G] cuts. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ But, _ uh_
Have you ever heard of Dara [Am] Williams?
You know, _ _ Dara [B] Williams recorded one of my songs.
She's a friend of mine. _ _ _
_ [E] Dara recorded one of my songs as a lesbian song.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ And _ _ I hadn't really thought of myself as being much of a lesbian [G] songwriter. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] And then I got this great big royalty [N] check in the mail myself one day.
_ _ Is this just to show all the lesbians in the audience?
_ _ _ Well _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ [G#] hell, I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body, I know that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Damn.
[C#] _ _ Thank you.
_ _ _ _ That's my budget lighting guy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He asked if he could come to this one and I said no. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] So she recorded my song as a lesbian song.
And I hadn't thought of myself as much of a lesbian [E] songwriter.
Until I got this royalty check [C#] myself in the mail one day.
_ And now it's just been lesbian song after lesbian song. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
I can't [D] even help it [Em] anymore, you know.
[G#] _ _
I start writing a song about a truck and next thing you know it's just a big [B] ol' lesbian driving a truck. _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ One time I wrote this song about a roundup and all the girls just had their irons in the [D] fire, you [G] know.
_ Just [E] _ _
lesbian [D] song [G] after lesbian song. _
_ _ [Am] You can go [B] ahead and say that with me if you want.
I don't have to [D] feel like I have those miserable little eyes. _
_ _ Just lesbian song after _ lesbian song.
[G] So to _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ your town you tell her, I've got [D] a closet full of lesbian songs, I'm just gonna share with her. _
_ The one she recorded goes like this.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
I'm wilder than her, _ _ [A] _
what else can I say? _
[D] I guess [G] that's why _ [D] she fell [Am] in love with me.
_ [E] _ _
[D] _ She's a house on fire, _ [A] _
she's got all those charms. _ _
[D] I'm a house [G] on fire too, [D] but I got four [A] alarms.
_ [E] Cause [D] I'm _ wilder than her, _ [A] drives her out of her mind.
_ [E] _ [A]
[G] I guess she thought that she [D] was just one [A] of a kind.
_ [E] _
[D] But she's a summer [Em] storm, _ [A] _ _
_ I'm a hurricane.
_ [Em] _
One just blows [G] your town, _ [D]
one blows the [A] town away.
_ _ [E]
[D] I'm wilder than _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ her.
We go driving in our car, [A] _ _
_ racing through the night.
[E] _ _
[G] She can drive as fast as me, [D] but she stops at [A] all the lights.
_ [E] _
[D] She says cause [Dm] I'm crazy, [F#m] _
[A] she's probably _ right.
[E] _
[G] But I [D] think that [G] the reason is [D]
that I'm [A] twice as wild.
[E] Because [D] I'm wilder than [E] her, _ [D] [A] drives her out of her mind.
_ [E] _
[G] I guess she thought that she was [D]
just one [A] of a kind.
_ [E] But [D] she's a summer storm, _ _ [A] _
I'm a hurricane.
_ [E] _
[D] One just blows your town, _ _ one blows the [A] town away.
_ _ [E]
I'm [D] wilder than _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] her.
When she takes my hand, [D] she looks me in the eye. _ _
[G] I see something that I've [D] never seen in [A] my life. _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] She takes the fire, _ _ [A] _ _ turns it down low.
_ _ [D] She takes the night, _ _ makes it not [A] so cold.
_ _ [D] She _ [Dm] takes the distance, _ [A] _ _ breaks it into miles.
[E] _ _ [G] She makes my life get a [D] little _ [A] less wild.
[E] Because [D] I'm _ wilder than her, _ [A] drives her out of her mind.
[E] _ I [G]
guess she thought that she was [D] just one [A] of a kind.
_ But [D] _
she's a summer storm, _ _ [A] _
I'm a hurricane.
_ _ [D] One just blows your town, [G] _ [A] one blows the town away.
_ _ I'm [D]
wilder than _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] her.
