Gm7 Am7 F6 G7
Birds fly into my windshield
Gm7 Am7 F6
Thoughts fall from my thoughts this
Gm7 Am7 Bb7 B7
good luck charm hanging off of my arm was
Bb7 A7
left here by the police
Words fall out from my pockets
And cats dance under my feet
This colorful spell under which I live
Protects me from all I write
And the
E6 B7
microscope reveals the scope of my
E6 B7 (B, C#, D, Eb bass notes)
very best intentions yes the
E6 B7
tiny light shines twice as bright on the
E6 C6
only nice part of me
F F F C
F F F C
F F F C
G G G C
Birds fly into my windshield
Thoughts fall from my thoughts
This good luck charm hanging off of my arm
Was left here by the police
And the microscope reveals the scope
Of my very best intentions
Oh, yes, the tiny light shines twice as bright
E6 C6 F6
only nice part of me eee

On The Frank O'Toole Show, Linnell plays this intro riff on the melodica:
(Single notes)
A-Bb-B D-G-D
A-Bb-B D-E-D
A-Bb-B D-D (lower octave)-D
Then he does this quick descending chord move:
Bm, Bbm, Am
These chords each lack their fifths, so it's really these notes:
B+D, Bb+Db, A+C
