C F
it had something to do with the rain
F C G
leeching loamy dirt
C F
and the way the back lane came alive
F C G
half moon whispered “go”
F G C F
for a while i heard you missing steps in the street
F G C F
and your anger pleading in an uncertain key
F C F
singing the sound of you that you found for me

C F
when the winter took the tips of my ears
F ( ii ) C ( ii ) G ( ii )
found this noisy home
C F
full of pigeons and places to hide
F ( ii ) C ( ii ) G ( ii )
and when the voices die
C F
i emerged to watched abandoned machines
F ( ii ) C ( ii ) G ( ii )
waiting for their men
C F
to return , i remember the way
F ( ii ) C ( ii ) G ( ii )
i would wait for you
F G C F
to arrive with kibble and a box full of beer
F G C F
how i’d scratch the empties desperate to hear
F// // F ( ii )
you make the sound that you found for me

F ( ii ) ////// C ( ii ) ////// G ( ii ) ////// Am ( ii ) //////
( this is played for the next stanza as well )

after scrapping with the ferals and the tabby
let you brush my matted fur
how i’d knead into your chest while you were sleeping
shallow breathing made me purr

F C G Am
but i can’t remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
i can’t remember the sound that you found for me
F C G Am
i can’t remember the sound
