Effigy Chords

(ver. 1)
Andrew Bird
C                      F
If you come to find me affable
        C           G
Build a replica for me
          C              F
Would the idea to you be laughable
     C           G
Of a pale facsimile?
            C               F
So will you come to burn an effigy?
          C               G
It should keep the flies away
             C                 F
And when you long to burn this effigy
                    C               G           Am    D    Dm    G
It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away
F           Am               G
It could be you, it could be me
            F                     
Working the door, drinking for free
         Am                    G
Carrying on with your conspiracies
            F                      
Filling the room with a sense of unease
           G                       C    Am   
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F                   G                                 C      Am
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
F                           G
When one has spent too much time alone

C                            F
So will you come to burn my effigy?
C                          G
It should keep the flies away
C                       F
If you long to burn an effigy
F                 C                       G          Am    D    Dm    G
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away

F           Am               G
It could be you, it could be me
            F                    
Working the door, drinking for free
         Am                    G
Carrying on with your conspiracies
             Am                   F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
            G                      C      Am
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
          F          G                                 C      Am
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
      F                      G  
When one has spent too much time alone
