The Low Anthem


Tom: D

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

D
She lays in the grass
A
Gathering Snails
G                             D/F#
She paints them with nail balms.
D
Pink's for the girls
A
 Blue's for the boys
G                                  
On two feet of string 
D/F#                 Em
she sits them orbiting

                   G
Her little Cosmos
Em                 G
Her little Cosmos

D
We made our way home
A
Through the wax and snow
G                 D/F#
Of arcadian car wash
D
Hands and sponges swished
A
So did our tongues twist
G
Across the fresh wilderness
D/F#            Em
That was our first kiss

                G
In Our Little Cosmos
Em              G
Our Little Cosmos

D
Down at the thrift shops
A
The dollar binned records
G                                             D/F#
Paisley sun dresses; this  cowboy booted angel
D
With her inconsolate black eyes
A
Spiral of style
G                       Em
She catches her old eye

                G
Her little cosmos
Em              G
Her little cosmos

Down there at the park

D A G D/F# Em

D
See the moths in the street lamps
A
See the snails tracing crop circles
G                 
With their shiny wet trails
D/F#                    
These men in the moonlight
D
They say we saw the sollipsis
A
There in the dark of the night
G
In a deep anaestesia
D/F#            Em
The girl did not fight

                G
For her little cosmos
Em              G
For her little cosmos
Em              G
For her little cosmos
