So your name wasn't in the listing
c                           g 
Or in the catalogue of lists
c                           g 
Or in the error heavily listing.
c                           g 
Oh how could your name be missed?
c
See the bull moose
                 g
Checking out another's rack.
c                   g  
There's no point in this.
c                    g 
There's no point in getting involved
c                         g
When the outcome cannot miss.
                               c
No tracks in the snow, no laminar flow,
                        g
Can show you "where to go"
                                      c
Or "how to extract just where you're at"
                                g
And not "become where you're from."
                                c               
'Cause you're not quite that isolatable.
                 d   
And all I'm thinking,
                                   c
I hope the blackflies don't carry me away. 
d                                 c
I hope the blackflies don't carry me away.
