Queens Of The Stone Age
Mosquito Song
Songs For The Deaf (2002)

Tune down 2 steps

Am  b^c g^a d^e^d  C  E  x 2

I know, I know the sun is hot
Mosquitos come, suck your blood
Leave you there, all alone
Just skin and bone

When you walk, among the trees
Listening, to the leaves
The further I go, the less I know
The less I know

  Dm             Am  b^c g^a d^e^d
  Where will you run?
  E              Am
  Where will you hide?
  Dm   Am       E (reste)
  Lullabies, to paralyze

Am  b^c g^a d^e^d  C  E   x 2   w/ mélodie

Fat and soft, pink and weak
Foot and thigh, tongue and cheek
You know I'm told, they swallow you whole
Skin and bone

Cutting boards, and hanging hooks
Bloody knives, cooking books
Promising, you won't feel a thing
At all

  Swallow and chew
  Eat you alive
  All of us food, that hasn't diiied...   and the light says

Am  Am°  B7  Dm  Am  Am°  B7  Am  (pause)    cordes w/ piano

  Am  b^c g^a d^e^d  C      E   (Am)  x 17  w/ hooo
e a              a b c  b a a♭  e a   (2n+1e: e a -> e b a, 4e: reste au E)
                                      (9-14: solo acoustique)

Somehow they, pick and pluck
Tenderize, bone to dust
The sweetest grease, finest meat
You'll ever taste, (taste), (taste)

So you scream, whine and yell
Supple sounds, of dinner bells
We all will feed, the worms and trees
So don't be shy

  Swallow and chew
  Eat you alive
  All of us food, that hasn't died
