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

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

This is a song for a wild cat
