PART ONE: The Chimney Flu Shot G Chord Instrumental lead opening. 4M
C |G |A |C |C |G |A |9
I had a flu shot and there’s redness in my throat. I wonder where it’s going next.
I mean the redness; it has traveled to my neck. It helps to turn me toward you rather than away from you.
N.C. +2
I feel too tightly

Wound in the round ground. Make a coyote cower Down with a hound sound. Burning and charring through a
Flame in the red zone; Rather than suffering the Pain in the dead zone, kill the pain playing with the

C |G |A |C |C |G |A |9
Get on the sidewalk there’s a cold flu passing through. It’s on the railway of my bones.
Each stop’s an organ, it will stop and scar all seven of them. It helps to turn me toward you rather than away from you.

You are the remedy!

Polar bear. Cozy bobtail cat. Yip yip! Coyote Shiver
Sonar bear. Show me where the inflammation’s at. Yip Yip Yip Yip Ya-
