Eb
I was a quick wet boy
            Cm
Diving too deep for coins
              Ab
All of your straight blind eyes
            Bb
Wide on my plastic toys
              Eb
And when the cops closed the fair
          Cm
I cut my long baby hair
            Ab
Stole me a dog-eared map
               Bb
And called for you everywhere


        Eb
Have I found you?
  Cm              Ab        Bb
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   Eb
Or lost you?
 Cm
American mouth
Ab         Bb
Big bill looming


          Eb
Now I'm a fat house cat
           Cm
Cursing my sore blunt tongue
             Ab
Watching the warm poison rats
                   Bb
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks
           Eb
Kissing on magazine photos
     Cm                           Ab
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
             Bb
Blood of Christ mountain stream


        Eb
Have I found you?
  Cm              Ab        Bb
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   Eb
Or lost you?
 Cm
American mouth
Ab         Bb     Ab   Bb Eb
Big bill, stuck going down
