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


        C
Have I found you?
  Am              F        G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   C
Or lost you?
 Am
American mouth
F         G
Big bill looming


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


        C
Have I found you?
  Am              F        G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
   C
Or lost you?
 Am
American mouth
F         G     F   G C
Big bill, stuck going down
