OAK CLIFF BRA (Edie Brickell)
-----------------------------
[All the verses have the same guitar part.  The C-Cmaj7-Am7-Am9
 section is played one way with the lyrics and another way when
 there are no words.  For the first verse, I've put the words
 under the tablature.]

 Watchin'     some cars            go   by


A lady with a baby with only one shoe walks by
Baby on her shoulder has his mouth open more than his eyes
Where's his other shoe?

A little bird is bathing on the driveway in a puddle of old rain
A station wagon honks and swerves and almost hits a squirrel
Squirrel gets crazy-eyed and zippers back and forth across the pavement
Talk about close calls
