Cross-eyed Bear chords

  			Cross-Eyed Bear - by Damien Rice 

 
 



Like most of Damo's stuff, there are a lot of hammer-ons in the song on the 
G string for G chords and on the D string for C and D chords.  Also, here's 
the gist of how he plays the lead, relative to the capo obviously: 

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----4-5-7-7-----7/9-7-5-7-----7/9-7-5-4-2-0--------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------| 


verse 1: 
                        G    D     C/G 
I broke your doll,              
                                       G      D       C/G 
It was cross eyed, that's all, 
                            G   D    C/G  
I only wanted it to help it see straight, 
       C/B   Am7            
But like a half broken moon, 
D 
Sooner than soon, 
Am7 
I was up on your wall, 
D 
Smaller than small, 
Am7 
In a half painted frame, 
D 
The wood wouldn't stain, 
Am7 
And I hope that reminds you,  
D                                                     G    D     C/G  
Of the part you couldn't change in me, 
                                 

                               G     D     C/G 
If you push me I'll fall, 
                                   G     D    C/G 
If you pull me I'll drown, 
                                                 G    D    C/G 
If you're gonna be nailin' me down, 

  C/B    Am7       D 
I won't rise again 


verse 2: 

I scratched your car, 
Where the bird left a stain, 
But I only wanted to help you see straight, 
But like a half broken moon, 
Sooner than soon, 
I was up on your wall, 
Smaller than small, 
In a half painted frame,  
Where the wood wouldn't stain, 
And I hope that reminds you,  
Of the part you couldn't change in me, 


Chorus:
