Alligator Blood chords

[A][Ve[E]rse 1] [E] [A]
[A]Drinking a cup of a[E]lligator blood
[E]Tastes like the heads and [A]feet we'd see
[A]For sale at the local pawn
W[E]e'd make necklaces out of [A]
I'd wear them [A]'round my neck
I'm a [E]sucker for the love of the[E] flesh
All things rancid and [A]delicate
But the [A]smell in the summer [E]heat
[E]It still gets to me[A]

[CHORUS]
[F#]Knee-deep in the p[G#]oacher's dream
He [B]dragged that thing out b[E]ack and he
[F#]Hung it upside down, slit its b[G#]elly open
And [E]let it bleed out [E]
And he held [F#]my head and made[G#] me watch
He filled[A] my mouth up with its[G#] blood and said
[C#m]"Grow up [B]weak or[E] grow up [A]tough"

[B] [A]

[VERSE 2]
Playin[A]g in the swamp of[E] alligator blood
[E]Behind our house in the [A]marshy lawn
He'd always hold my[E] head
Under the[E] water a little too[A] long
'Cause he wanted me to be al[E]l guts, no glory
"[E]All survivor, no guilt,[A]" he said
But h[A]e calls me his crocodile[E] tears
W[E]hile I'm chained up to the b[A]ed

[CHORUS]
[F#]Knee-deep in the p[G#]oacher's dream
He [B]dragged that thing out b[E]ack and he
[F#]Hung it upside down, slit its b[G#]elly open
And [E]let it bleed out [E]
And he held [F#]my head and made[G#] me watch
He filled[A] my mouth up with its[G#] blood and said
[C#m]"Grow up [B]weak or[E] grow up [A]tough"

[B] [A] [A]

[OUTRO]
[A]When I was [E]done
Wiped my [E]mouth on his [A]sleeve
I [A]fucked the soul of the south [E]but it cru[Am]cif[A]ied me

[C#m] [E] [B] [A#] [F#] [F#m]
