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 Iâ??m drowning in water
 	G 
I'm an unhappy little rabbit drowning in a stream 
G
Down among the fish I seen
