_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Saw an eagle on [D] a [Dm] pole
I [F] think it was [Bm] an [Dm] eagle
_ _ [F] _ [E] Watched a shadow [Eb] fly across the [Dm] cement
I _
_ _ _ _ [F] woke up in the [Dm] snow
_ All the [F] trees were crowds [Dm] of people
_ [F] No coat, [Em] no shoes, [Eb] no idea where [C] they went _
_ _ _ I followed [Dm] the fence line
[F] Then _ back [Dm] where the yard _ [F] begins
_ [Am] My woman, she stood crying [C] like a man
_ _ Said, _ [Bbm] _ _
where have [C] you been?
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
Where have [C] you been?
[Gm] I [F] thought you [E] said that [Eb] all of that [Dm] was done
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
LCA, [E] Loewe, [Dm] Sissou
Just don't [Bbm] go telling _ _ [F] everyone _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ Saw [F] the kettle was [Dm] drained
Saw [F] that Monday was [Dm] door _ -framed
I tried [Em] so hard [Eb] to finally settle [Dm] down
_ _ _ _ Heard the [F] fire pop and [Dm] snap _ _
[F] Like a tap piano _ [Dm] rag
I never [E] could [Eb] get used to happy [C] sounds
_ _ But I hope [Dm] the world's _ [F] exposed
A cruel [Dm] and elaborate _ [F] host
_ Their [Am] grievance is me to walk without a [C] cane
_ _ But _ [Bbm] _
_ what can you [C] do?
_ _ [Bbm] _
_ What can [C] you do?
I [F] [Em] always heard that [Eb] what is done [Dm] is done _ _ _ _ _

Just don't [Bbm] go telling _ [F] everyone

[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] past don't ever [Dm] quit
Those [F] boxes in [Dm] the attic _ _
[F] Baby _ [E] shoes [Eb] and _ taxidermy [D] dreams
_ _ _ _ [Dm]
While [F] the ashes of the [Dm] dead _ _
[F] Like a dandelion _ [Dm] head _
_ [F] Explode [E] and then are [Eb] scattered by the [C] breeze
_ _ _ And there's [Dm] such a long way [F] back
_ To [Dm] all the fun I [F] had _ _
[Am] When nothing ever seemed to bother [C] me
_ _ _ But [Bbm] _
_ what can you [C] do, _ [Bbm] child?
What can [C] you do?
[Gm]
[F] Sleep knees, the [Em] stars, [Eb] and toil in [D] the sun _ _ _ _ _
