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

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

This is a song for a wild cat
