WHIP SMART - LIZ PHAIR

CAPO 1

E B E B

I'M GONNA TELL MY SON TO GROW UP

A F#m

PRETTY AS THE GRASS IS GREEN

B F#m A B

AND WHIP SMART AS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL'S WIDE (?)

(same as above)

AND I'M GONNA TELL MY SON TO KEEP HIS MONEY IN HIS MATTRESS

AND HIS WATCH ON ANY HAND BETWEEN HIS THIGHS

AND I'M GONNA LOCK MY SON UP IN A TOWER TIL

I WRITE MY WHOLE LIFE STORY ON THE BACK OF HIS BROWN EYES

CHORUS:

E A B

WHEN THEY DO THE DOUBLE DUTCH THAT'S THEM DANCING

(same as above)

I'M GONNA TELL MY SON TO JOIN A CIRCUS SO THE DEATH IS

CHEAP AND GAMES ARE JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LIFE

AND I'M GONNA TELL MY SON TO BE A PROPHET OF MISTAKES

BECAUSE FOR EVERY TRUTH THERE ARE HALF A MILLION LIES

AND I'M GONNA LOCK MY SON UP IN A TOWER TIL HE

LEARNS TO LET HIS HAIR DOWN FAR ENOUGH TO CLIMB OUTSIDE

CHORUS (BILLION TIMES)

Gene
