Crush In The Ghetto

Jolie Holland

          C2                     Cmaj7
    I'm flirting with the birds
          C2                  Cmaj7
    I'm talking to the weeds
   Am                         Am7      G
    Look what you've done to me

                 Fmaj7           G                              C2
            I'm still dressed up from the night before
           Fmaj7                      C2                G
            Silken hose and an old Parisian coat
                     Fmaj7        G                   C2                     Fmaj7
            And I feel like a queen at the bus stop on the street
           Am                         Am7      G
            Look what you've done to me

                            Fmaj7      G                     Cmaj7/E
                    It's a beautiful morning in the ghetto
                   Fmaj7              C2      G     G7
                    Finer than the day before
                           Am         G                          C2                 Fmaj7
                    The ants are crawling over my pants as if to say
                   Am                              Am7    G   G7
                    They know where the honey is

                    There's really old roses blooming in the ghetto
                    Birds of paradise are taller than me
                    The weeds grow high - the birds flicker by
                    Children are walking to school

                                      Am              G         Cmaj7/E
                            In the midst of all this profusion
                                  Fmaj7               C2                   G     G7
                            The bus pulls up to take me back home
                                  Fmaj7        C2                  Fmaj7
                            The bus driver looks like an African prince
                                   Am              Am7               G     G7
                            The babies have tears in their eyes

                 Fmaj7        G                    C2             Fmaj7
        And I feel like a Queen on this sunny city bus
       Am                         Am7      G
        Look what you've done to me...
