Born With A Tail Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

EmDarlin' I was born with a tail that's my only pick up line

I can Amshow you my first B7scars where they Emcut it off my spine

EmDoctor's called it a miracle but my mother wasn't so enthused

She never Amsaid a word to nB7obody and she Emkept it out of the news

Chorus 1

I've been Gsearching all my life for the reaEmson why

I walk a Gcrooked path and I blaze an ugEmly trail

NCobody will tell Gme why in the hell

AmI was B7born with a Emtail

Verse 2

My mother is only a few years older than her only son

When I asked about my father she said don't worry about him none

I didn't worry 'til I got to be her age when I was born

That's when my face broke out with acne and my scalp broke out with horns

Chorus 2

I've been searching all my life for the reason why

I've got the skin of a snake and the cold heart of a snail

Nobody will tell me why in the hell

I was born with a tail

Verse 3

She didn't buy my first shoes at Walmart clearance sales

No, she bought them down at the stable and they put them on with nails

All the kids at the grade school stared at me like I was more than a little weird

'cause I showed up every morning with a freshly shaven beard

Chorus 3

I've been searching all my life for the reason why

My blood's as black as the back wash in the holy grail

Nobody will tell me why in the hell

I was born with a tail

Verse 4

So I've been playing my guitar thinking of the dad that I've never known

Some old black man told me I might find him down at the crossroads

So I spend my lonely days sitting in this lonely bar

Thinking of my long lost father and showing off these scars

Chorus 4

I've been searching all my life for the reason why

So far in my search I have failed

Nobody will tell me why in the hell

I was born with a tail
