could play Am as Am7 too x02010. Can't quite tell what it's suppose to be.

intro: E5
verse 
E5
 Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay

 As the nail beds rest in the calico hay
    A5           A5                   E5
 The Fiji Mermaid dressed in macrame's

 Wading road in the fork and a bend

 In the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon
 A5                 A5
 Melting like wax as that once full moons
  E5
 Now waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore

 Sharp Shots dull as a harlequins sword
       A5                  A5
 When doing as you please doesn't please you anymore

interlude: C5 G5 C5 A5 A5    C5 G5 C5 E5
verse
E5
 Stick of the match as the paraffin show

 Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow
      A5                 A5
 The stone in what shell?
                  E5
 You sure like to know now don't you?


 A loom in the heir as the medicine came

 To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims
           A5                       A5
 But you'll miss having someone to blame
                  E5
 For your sadness, now won't you?


 Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring
        A5            A5
 We'll knead a little dough to get by

interlude: C5 G5 C5 A5 A5 x2

verse
C5                            E5
 Did you come knocking on my door

 Or did I come to yours?
C5                             E5
 Whose ship came washed up on whose shore?

 And from what ocean floor?
