       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
