All eagle-eyed and dignified
D              D          C     Bb
Down the river across the great divide

And floating on this cockleshell
D
My pal Grins
D        C        Bb
Hugs the wind and sighs
Bb
We realize
Bb
With our blank minds aside
        A
Only to see the mystery
A
Of many books floating free
