Capo: 3rd fret

Intro: C Am C Am C C/B Am F

         C         Am
Saw an eagle on a pole
    C               Am
I think it was an eagle
  C        C/B      Am               F 
Watched its shadow fly across the cement
    C             Am
I woke up in the snow
         C                     Am
All the trees were crowds of people
    C        C/B       Am              F
No coat, no shoes, no idea where they went

                Am         C
I followed the fence line thin
                Am      C
Back where the yard begins
     E                             G             F
My woman, she stood crying like a man
                       G             F
Said, "Where have you been
                 G
Where have you been?"
    C          C/B       Am              F
I thought you said that all of that was done
    C    C/B  Am
El cielo es azul
             F              C
Just don't go telling everyone

G

              C           Am
Thought the kettle was a train
               C                 Am 
Thought that Monday was a door frame
    C       C/B     Am             F         
I tried so hard to finally settle down
           C            Am
Heard the fire pop and snap
        C          Am
Like a tack piano rag
   C        C/B     Am           F   
I never could get used to happy sounds

                Am         C 
But I hope the world's exposed
               Am       C
A cruel and elaborate hoax
        E                            G             F
That convinces me to walk without a cane
                 G             F
But what can you do
              G
What can you do
    C      C/B       Am              F
I always heard that what is done is done
    C    C/B  Am
El cielo es azul
             F              C
Just don't go telling everyone

     C               Am
The past don't ever quit
         C            Am
There's boxes in the attic
 C    C/B       Am         F    
Baby shoes and taxidermy dreams
           C            Am         
While the ashes of the dead, 
        C         Am
like a dandelion head
   C   C/B            Am                F
Explode and then are scattered by the breeze
                 Am       C           
And it's such a long way back 
           Am     C
to all the fun I had
        E                           G             F
When nothing ever seemed to bother me
                  G
But what can you do
     F               G             F
Child, what can you do
         C         C/B        Am          F
Sleep beneath the stars, and toil in the sun

    C    C/B  Am
El cielo es azul
             F              C
Just don't go telling everyone
    C    C/B  Am
El cielo es azul
             F              C
Just don't go telling everyone
