Putting Down

[Intro]

D   G





[Verse 1]

D            G                   D

  Held a bird's egg between her breasts

                 G              D

There's reasons for the road I guess

        G             D

To document the indigenous

               G

To paint and sketch, paint and sketch

    D           A       G    D

I'm starting to fail to be impressed





[Verse 2]

D          G            D

  United state of ricochet

               G                  D

From the boardwalk to the Appian way

             G                    D

The diamond files, the corporate raves

                   G

You'd practically kill not to be afraid

        D           A            G        D

And I'm starting to choke on the things I say





[Chorus 1]

             A                                   D

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                                   G

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                             G           D

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down, down





[Verse 3]

D             G                        D

  Browbeaten out from underneath your dress

         G           D

The documented indigenous

       G                  D

Civilization flipped its desk

              G

You know the rest, there is no rest

        D           A       G           D

And I'm starting to fail to know what's best





[Chorus 2]

             A                                   D

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                                   G

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                             G           D   G

I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down, down

 D   G  D   G  D   G  D  G  D  G  D

Down,  down,  down,  down

D  A  G  D
