We Sing Like Jailbirds

The alternate tuning is sort of optional for this song. The 6th string is really 
only used sometimes as a bass note between measures. You can leave it as an E if 
you don't mind losing that detail.

You can also just use C instead of Cadd4. The Cadd4 is my personal preference. =


The picking pattern looks something like this for each chord:

        C             Cadd4             Em              F
e|--------0-----|---------------|---------------|---------------|
B|-----------1--|--------1------|--------0------|--------1------|
G|------0-------|-----------0---|-----------0---|-----------2---|
D|---2----------|-----3---------|-----2---------|-----3---------|
A|--------------|--3------------|--2------------|--3------------|
C|--------------|---------------|---------------|---------------|
It's slightly different in some parts of the song, but this is the general pattern.

Verse:
C                                Em
First the thought and then the seed

F                       C      
I am parched and beyond peace

                          Em
It's not like I enjoy the act

               F                   C
I just need to drown this panic attack



Chorus:
C               Cadd4             F
There's really nothing here to see

               Em                 C
We sing like jailbirds when we drink

              Cadd4              F
We've gone a couple cups too deep

                Em                  F
We sing like jailbirds when we drink

                       C
We sing like jailbirds

Verse:
C                       Em
My holy father sheds a tear

      F                C
I repent each time I'm here

                           Em
Worried more than I should be

          F               C
A pint of ignorance for me



Chorus:
C               Cadd4             F
There's really nothing here to see

               Em                 C
We sing like jailbirds when we drink

             Cadd4                F
You really shouldn't be calling me

                 Em                    F
You sing like a jailbird when you drink

                        Cadd4
We sing like jailbirds when we drink

                        F
We sing like jailbirds when we drink

                      Cadd4
We sing like jailbirds

                      C
We sing like jailbirds
