Dance of the Manatee
Capo 1st fret! (or transpose these chords up half step)
Intro
Em A D G x 2
[(Em)]Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what [D]do you see?
I see the tortoise and the hare in a [A]rat-race and it fits like a glove under
[G]my sleeve, just w[A]ait till then.
[Em]Their heads are the heaviest in [D]operation,
he has still not lost imagi[A]nation.
I can hear him mouth the whole [G]ending -
just w[A]ait till then.
Bridge
[Em]We marys [D]had ourselves a [A]ball.
Oh, [G]yes we d[A]id.
[Em]We marys [D]had ourselves a [A]ball,
I [G]must adm[A]it--
Chorus
[Em]Hang us those [Am]limbs hold no [C]virtue[D].
[Em]Those told to [Am]hold: project on [C]my cue[D].
Em A D G x2 (intro)
[Em]Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your [D]money is.
Are the birds of a feather that[A] clever?
If I knew I'd keep locks, that's a [G]given, just [A]wait till then.
[Em]Their heads cast shadows like s[D]kyscrapers.

Small enough to feed off the [A]lesses to put it all into [G]perspective with
[A]definition.

G/B G D (something like this)
Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.
Not needy you'll see.
and I come with open arms over trees.
[Em] [A] [C] [D]
[Em]Listen to my proven guara[A]ntees while you're rolling up your [C]sleeves,
beatin' on the [D]chest.
[Em]But we can keep it in a j[A]ar when it's comin' cats and [C]dogs for [D]days.
[Em]We marys [D]had ourselves a [A]ball.
And, I [G]guarant[A]ee.
[Em]And what they've done for yo[A]u
they've [C]done for me, they've [D]done for me.
