Intro
E F#m A B B x2
[Verse 1]
E F#m
And row me in felt, and row in fat
A B
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
E F#m
Row me into the snow, and sing to me of your choir
A B
Sing to me the key to your aeroplane's fire
E F#m
Well, I once was a Nazi, but every man has his fill
A B
In the light of the concrete station your doctors eat pills
A B E
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
A E C#m
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
B
This is a song for a wild cat
[Verse 2]
E F#m
And row me in felt, and row in fat
A B
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
E F#m
B man shot in the hand from indiscreet fire
A B
Fire burns the bones, and I emerge under a tire
E F#m
Oh, find me a wolf, and capture me a dog
A B
And you float me to the New York on the back of a log
E F#m
Well my notebooks were blue as your peacocks were blue
A B
Walk with me in the mazes to the old Berlin Zoo
A B E
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
A E C#m
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie

[Bridge]
C#m F#m
And your face in the sun, digging a road yet undone
G# A
Well palm sweats and jobs help you to be alone in the do
C#m F#m G#
And your face in the morning, unfurled as a sailor's last warning
A C#m
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are lookin for you!"
C#m F#m G#
And the night is forlorn, and a sail, oh, is born in clues
A C#m
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are there for you!"
[Chorus]
