F (133211@1)               DmSaw (xx0231@1)an eagle on a pole,
F (133211@1)               DmI (xx0231@1)think it was an eagle.
F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1)   D# (x43121@3)           DmWatched (xx0231@1)its' shadow fly 'cross the cement.
F (133211@1)                  DmAnd (xx0231@1)I woke up in the snow,
F (133211@1)                            Dmall (xx0231@1)the trees, and crowds, and people.
F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1)      D# (x43121@3)            CNo (x32010@1)shirt, no shoes, no idea where they went.

F (133211@1)                      DmI (xx0231@1)followed the fenceline thin,
F (133211@1)                   Dmback (xx0231@1)where the yard begins
F (133211@1)       Am (x02210@1)      D# (x43121@3)          CMy (x32010@1)woman, she stood crying like a man.
      Am# (x13321@1)          CSaid, (x32010@1)where have you been?
Am# (x13321@1)          CWhere (x32010@1)have you been?
F (133211@1)           Am (x02210@1)      D# (x43121@3)            DmI (xx0231@1)thought you said that all of that was done.
F (133211@1)      Am (x02210@1) D#El (x43121@3)Cielo es azul,
              Am# (x13321@1)       FJust (133211@1)don't go telling everyone

F (133211@1)                      DmThought (xx0231@1)the kettle was a train.
F (133211@1)                        DmThought (xx0231@1)that Monday was a doorframe.
F (133211@1)      Am (x02210@1)    D# (x43121@3)           DmTried (xx0231@1)so hard to finally settle down.
F (133211@1)                    DmHeard (xx0231@1)the fire pop and snap.
F (133211@1)               DmLike (xx0231@1)a tack piano rag.
F (133211@1)     Am (x02210@1)      D# (x43121@3)          CI (x32010@1)never could get used to happy sounds.

F (133211@1)                        DmYeah, (xx0231@1)I hope the world's exposed.
F (133211@1)                   DmA (xx0231@1)cruel and elaborate hoax.
F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1)  D# (x43121@3)           CIt (x32010@1)convinces me to walk without a cane.

    Am# (x13321@1)        CBut (x32010@1)what can you do?
Am# (x13321@1)               CChild, (x32010@1)what can you do?
F (133211@1)      Am (x02210@1)       D# (x43121@3)            DmI (xx0231@1)always heard that what is done is done.
F (133211@1)      Am (x02210@1) D#El (x43121@3)Cielo es azul,
              Am# (x13321@1)        FJust (133211@1)don't go telling everyone

F (133211@1)                 DmThe (xx0231@1)past don't ever quit.
F (133211@1)                    DmThere's (xx0231@1)boxes in the attic.
F (133211@1)  Am (x02210@1)      D# (x43121@3)      DmBaby (xx0231@1)shoes and taxidermy dream.
F (133211@1)                    DmWhile (xx0231@1)the ashes of the dead, 
F (133211@1)              Dmlike (xx0231@1)a dandelion head,
F (133211@1)         Am (x02210@1)     D# (x43121@3)             Cexplode (x32010@1)and then are scattered by the breeze.
F (133211@1)                   DmWe're (xx0231@1)such a long way back,
F (133211@1)                   Dmto (xx0231@1)all the fun that we had.
F (133211@1)          Am (x02210@1) D# (x43121@3)             CWhen (x32010@1)nothing ever seemed to bother me.
Am# (x13321@1)            CBut (x32010@1)what can you do?
Am# (x13321@1)                 CBrother, (x32010@1)what can you do?
F (133211@1)   Am (x02210@1)     D# (x43121@3)                   DmSleep (xx0231@1)with the stars, and toil in the sun.
F (133211@1)Am (x02210@1)     D#El (x43121@3)Cielo es azul,
               Am# (x13321@1)      FJust (133211@1)don't go telling everyone
