First tab here!!! Love this song. Cannot find one single page with its chords, so
I sat down and tried to figure it out.
Sounds pretty close to me. It s hard to describe the strumming, but really easy to
figure out from the song.
There are some hammers peppered in the chords.
STANDARD TUNING
CAPO 3
Artist: Lyle Lovett
Song: Flyswatter/Ice Water Blues
Album: Joshua Judges Ruth
Honey put down that flyswatter
And pour me some ice water
And would you bring me my hammer
And could you find me some nails
For soon I ll be going
To work for this living
And with you here to guide me
Then I cannot fail
The morning it stumbles
Right in through the window
And this getting up early
Gets old anyway
And if you listen close dear
The crying that you hear
Is the nighttime lamenting
The start of the day
And it s hotter than concrete
In July in Houston
And it ll get worse here
Before it turns nice
But old Tink s in the backyard
And I swear that boy s so smart
He s got everything ready
So we ll be all right
So honey put down that flyswatter
And pour me some ice water
And though I ll soon be going
Well I haven t gone yet
So come stand here beside me
And hold my hand gently
And tell me do you remember
The first time we met
