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
C9 G
honey put down that flyswatter
C9 G
and pour me some ice water
C9 G
and would you bring me my hammer
C9 D
and could you find me some nails
C9 G
for soon i’ll be going
C9 G
to work for this living
C9 G
and with you here to guide me
C9 G
then i cannot fail
C9 G
C9 G
the morning it stumbles
C9 G
right in through the window
C9 G
and this getting up early
C9 D
gets old anyway
C9 G
and if you listen close dear
C9 G
the crying that you hear
C9 G
is the nighttime lamenting
C9 G
the start of the day
C9 G
C9 G
and it’s hotter than concrete
C9 G
in july in houston
C9 G
and it’ll get worse here
C9 D
before it turns nice
C9 G
but old tink’s in the backyard
C9 G
and i swear that boy’s so smart
C9 G
he’s got everything ready
C9 G
so we’ll be all right
C9 G
C9 G
so honey put down that flyswatter
C9 G
and pour me some ice water
C9 G
and though i’ll soon be going
C9 D
well i haven’t gone yet
C9 G
so come stand here beside me
C9 G
and hold my hand gently
C9 G
and tell me do you remember
C9 G
the first time we met
