Parasol Ants Chords

(ver. 1)
Richard Shindell
CAPO: 1st Fret



INTRO: G  C  (4x)  G

             C     G
The thief is down
            C       G
Flat on the ground
          C     
Face on cement
  D              C       G  
A crowd gathers around
              C     G
His old black coat
                C     G
Thrown over his head
                C       
The crowd's all hushed
          G               D      G  C  G  C  G
'Cause it looks like he's dead


                   C      G
He's got a limited view
                  C      G
Just one patch of light
        C      
Shining down
     D       C      G
On a curious sight
        C     G
Parasol ants
             C     G
In a perfect line
                  C       
With bright green leaves
D        
Raised up high


CHORUS:
      C             Em         C      G
He is god and those leaves are sails
      Em          C             D
He is god and his breath is the gale
      C       Em       A   
He is god with time to kill
      C              D       N.C.        
He is god and he can do just what he will


INTERLUDE: G  C  (4x) G


       C      G
God is bored
                  C     G
So it's, what the hell
              C       
He let's go a gust 
        D          C      G
Just to watch them flail
            C       
The ants go flying
  G     C    G
In disarray
                   C       
Those bright green leaves
D        
All blown away


CHORUS:
      C             Em         C      G
He is god and those leaves are sails
      Em          C             D
He is god and his breath is the gale
      C       Em       A   
He is god with time to kill
      C              D       N.C.        
He is god and he can do just what he will


INTERLUDE: G  C  (4x) G


          C         G
God's got problems
                C      G
He's busted but good
         C      
He ain't nothing
       D                C     G
Just a well-known local hood
              C       G
The ants keep coming 
              C       G
They pay him no mind
               C       
They've got leaves to move
          D        
They just march on by


CHORUS:
      C             Em         C      G
He is god and those leaves are sails
      Em          C             D
He is god and his breath is the gale
      C       Em       A   
He is god with time to kill
      C              D       N.C.        
He is god and he can do just what he will


OUTRO: G  C  (8x) G
