[Eb] I was a quick, wet boy, [Bb] diving [Cm] too deep, four-coined all [Ab] of your street light eyes,
wide on [Bb] my plastic toys, then when [Eb] the cops closed the [Bb] fair, I cut [Cm] my long baby hair,
and stole me [Ab] a doggie, and called for [Bb] you everywhere.
[Eb] How I found you, [Cm] blindness burns, [Ab] jealous,
[Bb]
weeping,
I've [Eb] no lost [Bb] you, [Cm] American,
[Ab] big [Eb] bill, [Bb] blue.
[Gm] Now [Eb] I'm a fat house cat, [Cm] nursing my sore blood,
come [Ab] watch in the war, boys and gals, go [Bb] through the wide fence, cracks,
[Eb] pissing on magazine [Cm] photos, those pitch tan brothers,
thrown [Ab] in the cold and rain, by the [Bb] prize mountain stream.
[Eb] How I found you, [Cm] blindness burns, [Ab] ground-bending,
[Bb]
[D] [Eb] I've no lost you, [Cm] American, [Ab] big bill, [Eb] [Bb] blue.
