LYRICS & CHORDS I'm gonna wrap myself in paper I'm gonna daub myself with glue Stick some stamps on top of my head I'm gonna mail myself to you I'm gonna tie me up in a red string I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too I'm gonna climb up in my mailbox I'm gonna mail myself to you D A / " / D G / D AD When you see me in your mailbox Cut the string and let me out Wash the glue off my fingers Stick some bubblegum in my mouth Take me out of my wrapping paper Wash the stamps off of my head Pour me full of ice cream sodies Tuck me in my nice warm bed Chord Key: Slashes show line divisions, ditto mark means repeat the previous line's chords, squished chords mean two chords in the time you do one unsquished chord.

LYRICS & CHORDS Chorus: D — — — / Em — A — / 1st / Em A D — All I really need is a song in my heart Food in my belly and love in my family All I really need is a song in my heart And love in my family 1. And I need the rain to fall And I need the sun to shine To give life to the seeds we sow, to give the food we need to grow All I really need is a song in my heart / and love in my family Verses: Em A D — / " / Em — F#m G A — / D — — — / 1st 2. And I need some clean water for drinking And I need some clean air for breathing So that I can grow up strong and take my place where I belong... Chord Key: Slashes show line divisions, dashes means repeat the previous chord, ditto mark means repeat the previous line's chords.

released April 19, 2021

Tim played guitar, banjo, ukelele, and glockenspiel and sang, messed around with delay and reverb pedals, mouse-clicked, and twisted the occasional knob and photo.

about

Wychwood Ottawa, Ontario

We identify only half-jokingly as “the world’s first blackgrass band.” We play old murder-ballads and other spooky traditional folk songs, with some bright and sentimental spots thrown in for contrast.
