C

It was Cinco de Mayo

Em

Pillow case on his head

C

No more breathing time

Em

An ambulance sped

C

It sped round every corner

Em

Calling out his name



Chorus

Am                     D

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

G                      Em

Sat and watched in the summer corn row

Am                D

Ate icecream in a desert dream

G            Em

Got lost in father seeing you

Am                D

Too hot inside to hot outside

G                     Em

Lazy days when you said let's go for a ride

Am            D

We'll sail on Spirit Lake,

G                 Em

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade







Tim and tina were my parents' names

They got engaged they were inflamed

Seduced by the lie of butterflies

How they shimmer, how they glimmer

Those butterflies



We seven kids, we almost died

Nearly put to death

But lightning strike

Instead there was hot pink

Flashes in the sky

We climb the rocks in snowing rain

In search of magic power



To heal our mother's pain



Chorus x2

Am                     D

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

G                      Em

Sat and watched in the summer corn row

Am                D

Ate icecream in a desert dream

G            Em

Got lost in father seeing you

Am                D

Too hot inside to hot outside

G                     Em

Lazy days when you said let's go for a ride

Am            D

We'll sail on Spirit Lake,

G                 Em

Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
