D Down to a river by an old dirty track D I was running like a rabbit hiding in the grass Em I met a little fish swimming in a stream A Most pretty little fish that I ever seen D She was peaking up from out of the blue D I was wiggling my whiskers, I said How do you do? Em She said I'm alright, I'm feeling OK A Thanks for asking How are you today? D I told her I was happy just scooting around D Asked her if she'd like to see my hole in the ground Em But she wouldn't have it & was kind of upset Em I asked her What's the problem? A She said Well, is it wet? D I said No, it's dry, drier than the sun D She said That's problematic, beside which, I don't run Em But if you'd like to see my little rock in the reeds A Swim this way & follow me if you please D She swam a little circle then she dived deep down D I waited for a second but there wasn't a sound Em So I waited on the river by the side of the track A Listening for a ripple but she never came back G D Baby, out in the wildgrass A Em That's where I live & I run so fast G D But lately out of the water A Em Since I met you I ain't been sober G I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream G Waiting for a fish I seen D I hopped out to the mountains out to visit a friend D I asked him if he had some kind of boat I could lend Em He just laughed & he narrowed his eyes & said A I'm an eagle, boy, I live in the sky D I said Well, no harm in askin' & I hopped on my way D But my friend flew overhead, he must have had more to say Em I waited by the river where I spent most my time A & my friend the eagle came flying out of the sky D He grabbed me by the ears & he swung me round D Way out over the river I thought he would drown Em Gathered all my strength & kicked him hard in the arse A He dropped me & I landed with a thud in the grass D Then I ran off like a rocket that was Jupiter bound D Back into my burrow, little hole in the ground Em I waited & I trembled & I didn't come out A Trying to figure out what all that was about G D Baby, out in the wildgrass A Em That's where I live & I run so fast G D But lately out of the water A Em Since you left me I ain't been sober G I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream G Waiting for a fish I seen D Eventually I figured it had been a mistake D So I visited my neighbour, a big black bellied snake Em I told her about the fishy that was down in the stream A & all about the eagle that was cranky & mean D She just smiled & hissed & waggled her tongue D Then she whispered in my ear, but what she said kinda stung Em She told me I was nosey & as dumb as they come A I should not be hanging out where I don't belong D So I stumbled & I staggered back to the river's edge D I was feeling kind of sick so I layed down my head Em And I had myself a vision like a wonderful dream A Like I was floating in the ocean but in that very stream D And all the little fishies they were swishing around D & suddenly I saw that little fish I had found Em She told me I was welcome to join her in the black A So I did & I was happy & I never looked back G D Baby, out in the wildgrass A Em That's where I live & I run so fast G D But lately out of the water A Em Since you left me I’m drowning in water G I'm an unhappy little rabbit drowning in a stream G Down among the fish I seen D
