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

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