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

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

This is a song for a wild cat
