Cherry Licorice by The Felice Brothers
Cherry Licorice
This is how I play this song. Standard tuning, capo on 2. This tallies with the key they're in.

All I wanna eat is cherry licorice, I don't care if it sounds ridiculous
C F D F C D
Even the birds and bees, eat how they damn well please
G C
I don't wanna work for no dead waitress, I don't have that kind of patience,
C F D F C D
Sitting around all day, with never a word to say,
G C
Raccoon's dead the city's windy, all I think about is Cindy,
C F D F C D
All the ladies and gents, are covered in excrement,
G
All I wanna eat etc...
G C
High along a hill, through the thistle, past the factory, across the trestle,
C F D F C D
the teachers slit my wrist, for every class I miss,
G C
He was like a fire she was like a feather, it was hell to live together,
C F D F C D
I bid them all so long, I'm happy them days are gone,
All I wanna eat etc...
G C
All she wants to drink is lemon spritzer, she don't care if the image fits her,
C F D F C D
Who wants to spend their time, choking on lemon rind?,
