Intro
G Am C D D x2
[Verse 1]
G Am
And row me in felt, and row in fat
C D
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
G Am
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 Am
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 Em
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
D
This is a song for a wild cat
[Verse 2]
G Am
And row me in felt, and row in fat
C D
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
G Am
D man shot in the hand from indiscreet fire
C D
Fire burns the bones, and I emerge under a tire
G Am
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 Am
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 Em
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
D D Em
This is a song for a wild cat
D D Em

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

This is a song for a wild cat
D D Em
This is a song for a wild cat

This is a song for a wild cat
