Owl Feather

    D        G       D
There's a tiny owl feather
                    A
In the puzzle over there
                      G
On the mantle by the laddle
      D               A
And my darlin' put it there.
             G             D
She says it's from the scary bird
              G            A
Was perched perchance to scare
                                   D
The little hand that pets me every night


          D                    G        D
Chorus: Oh     little cabin in the glen so green
                    G                   A
Prettiest little cabin that I ever have seen
    D           G         D
My darlin' waits there for me
                    A
with her little tambourine
                              D
tappin' out the rhythm of the rain

                G              D
I can't go back 'cause I never left
                  A
This little cabin home
                                D
With a wrap around porch and a dog trot
                      A
And a well of granite stone
                              D
And an old wet dog all slobbered down
                           A
With the end of an old wet bone
                                             D
Puffin' like a locomotive on an old freight train.


Chorus
    D          G              D
Now I'm laying in this tanning bed
                A
Dreamin' of my youth
   D             G            D
The gangsta rap and the cowboy hat
                   A
just make me feel uncouth.
  D        G        D
But a vision of my mother
                A
Is a vision of truth
                             D
Hangin' out the wash so long ago

            G                 D
Oh little cabin in the glen so green
                                        A
Prettiest little cabin that I ever have seen
      D          G         D
My darlin' waits there for me
                     A
with her little tambourine
 G                            D
tappin' out the rhythm of the rain
  G                           D
beatin' out the rhythm of the blues
   G                           D
beatin' out the rhythm of the rain
                                   A               D
observin' the all time high water mark of the 1927 flood
   G                          D
beatin' out the rhythm of the rain
