This is all very simple.

The whole song C

follows this same pattern: Am, C, F, G. Or lost you?
It's Am
on the 3rd fret, and these chords are American mouth
relative to the capo. F G
Big bill looming
It's 3/4 timing, like a waltz, so strum
appropriately. Each chord gets exactly 4
and this does not change. [Verse 2]

Flightless Bird, American Mouth C

by Iron & Wine Now Im a fat house cat
Am
[Verse 1] Cursing my sore blunt tongue
F
C Watching the warm poison rats
I was a quick wet boy G
Am Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
Diving too deep for coins C
F Kissing on magazine photos
All of your straight blind eyes Am F
G Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
Wide on my plastic toys and clean
C G
And when the cops closed the fair Blood of Christ mountain stream
Am
I cut my long baby hair
F [Chorus]
Stole me a dog-eared map
G C
And called for you everywhere Have I found you?
Am F G
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding
[Chorus] C
Or lost you?
C Am
Have I found you? American mouth
Am F G F G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Big bill, still going down
