Cuckoo 1440

This version is from Stokie + Jim Bumfest.

If you can manage to play this during the intro with the Am- and C-chords it will sound a bit better:
      Am                     C
e|-----0-------0---0----------0-------0--0-------------------|
B|-----1---------3---3---1----1---------3--3---1-------------|
G|-----2----------------------0------------------------------|
D|-----2----------------------2------------------------------|
A|-----0----------------------3------------------------------|
E|-----x----------------------x------------------------------|

or;
      Am                        C
e|-----0-------0---0-----0------0-------0--0----0--------------|
B|-----1---------3---3----------1---------3--3-----------------|
G|-----2------------------------0------------------------------|
D|-----2------------------------2------------------------------|
A|-----0------------------------3------------------------------|
E|-----x------------------------x------------------------------|

******************************
I'm not 100% sure how to play it, but sometimes it sound better to play it like this;

         D                    Em

            Am
For you to bring me the songs
     C       D            Em
And I'll pretend they're mine
C       D         Em
I will make them mine

Am              C
You said you'd never
     D                Em
Let no one in on that lie
         Am
And I discovered the truth
C     D         Em
Oh I could just die
C          D       Em
Lay right down and die
