I was a quick wet boy [Bb] diving [Cm] too deep for [G] coins
eyes white [Bb] on my plastic toys

[Eb] have I found you?
[Cm] light as bird
[Bb]
weeping
eyes white [Bb] on my plastic toys
then [Eb] when the cops closed the fair [A] I cut [Cm] my long baby hair
[G] and stole me [Ab] a doggie and map and called for [Bb] you everywhere
[Eb] have I found you?
[Cm] light as bird
