Lone Standing Tuft by Michael Fassbender
Lone Standing Tuft
D D/A D D/A
Lonely litlle carpenter,for twisted wool...
Bb D
Lone...Standing tuft..
Bb D
Defy...The foot..
Bm
What age are you in carpet years
D
Is it spring and you're the first to wake
Bm
Or are you old but still strong enough
D
To keep what winter wants to take...
Bb D
Lone...Standing tuft..
Bb D
Defy...The foot..
Bm
Is it luck that you're still standing
D
And you've not been flattened too
Bm
Do you tremble in the litlle wind that
D
Squeezed out by my shoe
Bb D
Lone...Standing tuft..
Bb D
Defy...The foot..
Bm
Has your tuftiness mutated so
D
Your strands are made of steel
Bm
Is it sheer determination you'll
D
never bend beneath the heel
Bb D
Lone...Standing tuft..
Bb D
Defy...The foot..

Repeat intro to finish.
Lone standing tuft.
Defy the foot.
What age are you in carpet years?
Is it spring and you're the first to wake, or are you old but still strong enough to what winter was to take?
Lone standing tuft.
Defy the foot.
Is it work that you're still standing, and you've not been flattened too?
You remember in the little wind that's squeezed out by my shoe.
Lone standing tuft.
Defy the foot.
Your tuftiness, mutated soul; your strand are made of steel.
Is it sheer determination that you've never been beneath the heel?
Lone standing tuft.
Defy the foot. (lone)
