Biography:
Poi Dog Pondering is an American musical group, noted for its cross-pollination of diverse musical genres, including various forms of acoustic folk music, and electronic music. Founded in Hawaii in 1985 around the creative vision of lead singer-songwriter Frank Orrall, the band moved to Austin, Texas in 1987, where they recorded their first three albums. In 1992, the band (with ever-evolving membership) relocated once again, this time to Chicago, Illinois, and began to incorporate elements of house music into their style.

Tall
Poi Dog Pondering
G Bm Am C
Standing tall as a woman but acting tough as can be
G Bm Am C
Curling your lip directing your poetry at me
G
When I know it was written for another time and place
Am G Bm Am C
It doesn't touch me - You're so bitter the past so close behind
G Bm Am
You're so curling and churning how could your angel give in
G Bm Am C
When there's nothing to blame but your pride
Chorus:
Am G
And I guess you need an excuse to fall
A C E
If you're gonna pretend to fly at all
G Bm Am C ---- G Bm Am C
G Bm Am C
You can curl up cradled in your past
G Bm Am C
But it isn't as warm there is it will nothing ever last
G Bm
Your painting your pictures with shards of your pain
Am C
You'd prick your fingers for blood to paint
G Bm Am C
You sing your strife like a sonnet I believe
Chorus:
Am G
And I guess you need an excuse to fall
A C E
If you're gonna pretend to fly at all
Bridge:
F C G
You sing your strife like a sonnet
F C G
But you buy your hat with a sweat stained brim already on it
F C G
Chaos and fate your enemies at least that's the way you've sold them to be
Am C D
You can put yourself on a cross but not for me
G Bm Am C (x4)
Chorus:
Am G
And I guess you need an excuse to fall
A C Em D
If you're gonna pretend to fly at all
Am G
And I guess you need an excuse to fall
A C Em
If you're gonna pretend to fly at all
