Intro
C Dm F G G x2
[Verse 1]
C Dm
And row me in felt, and row in fat
F G
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
C Dm
Row me into the snow, and sing to me of your choir
F G
Sing to me the key to your aeroplane's fire
C Dm
Well, I once was a Nazi, but every man has his fill
F G
In the light of the concrete station your doctors eat pills
F G C
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
F C Am
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
G
This is a song for a wild cat
[Verse 2]
C Dm
And row me in felt, and row in fat
F G
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
C Dm
G man shot in the hand from indiscreet fire
F G
Fire burns the bones, and I emerge under a tire
C Dm
Oh, find me a wolf, and capture me a dog
F G
And you float me to the New York on the back of a log
C Dm
Well my notebooks were blue as your peacocks were blue
F G
Walk with me in the mazes to the old Berlin Zoo
F G C
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
F C Am
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
[Bridge]
Am Dm
And your face in the sun, digging a road yet undone
E F
Well palm sweats and jobs help you to be alone in the do
Am Dm E
And your face in the morning, unfurled as a sailor's last warning
F Am
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are lookin for you!"
Am Dm E
And the night is forlorn, and a sail, oh, is born in clues
F Am
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are there for you!"
[Chorus]
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
G G Am
This is a song for a wild cat
