Quail And Dumplings Chords

   
Capo on 1st fret. I like to play this in drop D tuning (well, Eb, technically); 
this way one can pretty
easily emulate the bass line underneath the strumming pattern. Pretty 
straightforward song, just listen
for the chord changes, which don't always come where you'd expect.

Intro
Dm

Dm                                  G
Holes in the ceiling, holes in our roof
Dm                                          G
Hope that we had got it made now gone in a poof
Dm                            G
When it gonna be turn in the tide?
Dm                                   G
When we gonna see we got god on our side

Chorus
F                   Bb
Quail and dumplings now to the end
F                   Bb
God and her minions as our bosom friends
F                   Bb
We got empty tummies but it won't always be

One day it's gonna be quail and dumplings for we

Dm                                      G
Too big our slippers and too small our bed
Dm                                    G
Too bent our bosom and too broke our head
Dm                                  G
We must hit the bottom in order to rise
Dm                                         G
Find peace in a hovel to find home in the sky

F                   Bb
Quail and dumplings now to the end
F                   Bb
God and her minions as our bosom friends
F                   Bb
We got empty tummies but it won't always be
