Miss Misanthrope by Jealous of the Birds
Miss Misanthrope
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
B E B
She said I?m blue as a robin's egg
B E B
I?ve done nothing to make me proud
B E B
I rehearse conversations in
B E B
The shower when I am home alone
B E B
No one has ever bought me flowers
B E B
Or smoked a joint on my Persian rug
[Verse 2]
F# E B
Go to Mexico
F# E
And lie under a mango tree
B
And watch a line of crows
F# E
Grace the southern breeze
B
But you won?t know where they go
F# E
Everything just scatters out
B
Like acorns in the snow
E B
Or dust clouds in a drought
[Verse 3]
B E B
She said I care too much these days
B E B
About my place in this ball of yarn
B E B
There?s not a lot that I can boast
B E B
I water plants and make French toast
B E B
And muse like some misanthrope
B E B
Afraid to sow all my wild oats
[Verse 4]
F# E B
Read Walt Whitman poems
F# E
Drink a bottle of champagne
B
And sing some Leonard Cohen
F# E
I love it when you speak so plain
B
The way you often do
F# E
When I am crying after midnight
B
Just between us two
E B
It makes me smile to know you?re alright

She said, I'm blue as a robin's egg
I've done nothing to make me proud
I rehearse conversations in
The shower when I am home alone
No one has ever bought me flowers
Or smoked a joint on my Persian rug
Go to Mexico
And lie under a mango tree
And watch a line of crows
Grace the Southern breeze but
You won't know where they go
Everything just scatters out like
Acorns in the snow
Or dust clouds in a drought
She said, I care too much these days
About my place in this ball of yarn
There's not a lot that I can boast
I water plants and make French toast
And muse like some misanthrope
Afraid to sow all my wild oats
Read Walt Whitman poems
Drink a bottle of champagne
And sing some Leonard Cohen
I love it when you speak so plain
The way you often do
When I am crying after midnight
Just between us two
It makes me smile to know you're alright
