C F
It had something to do with the rain
F C G
leeching loamy dirt
C F
and the way the back lane came alive
F C G
half moon whispered "go"
F G C F
for a while I heard you missing steps in the street
F G C F
and your anger pleading in an uncertain key
F C F
singing the sound of you that you found for me
C F
When the winter took the tips of my ears
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
found this noisy home
C F
full of pigeons and places to hide
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
and when the voices die
C F
I emerged to watched abandoned machines
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
waiting for their men
C F
to return, I remember the way
F (2 fr.) C (2 fr.) G (2 fr.)
I would wait for you
F G C F
to arrive with kibble and a box full of beer
F G C F
how I'd scratch the empties desperate to hear
F// // F (2 fr.)
you make the sound that you found for me
F (2 fr.) ////// C (2 fr.) ////// G (2 fr.) ////// Am(II) //////
(This is played for the next stanza as well)
After scr*pping with the ferals and the tabby
let you brush my matted fur
how I'd knead into your chest while you were sleeping
shallow breathing made me purr
F C G Am
But I can't remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
I can't remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
I can't remember the sound
F-C-G-Am 2x
F-G-C-F 2x
