C Am
Saw an eagle on a pole

C Am
I think it was an eagle

C C/B A# Am
Watched its shadow fly across the cement

C Am
I woke up in the snow

C Am
All the trees were crowds of people

C C/B A# G
No coat, no shoes, no idea where they went

Am C
I followed the fence line thin

Am C
Back where the yard begins

E G F
My woman, she stood crying like a man

G F
Said, "Where have you been

G
Where have you been?"

C C/B A# Am
I thought you said that all of that was done

C C/B Am
El cielo es azul

F C
Just don't go telling everyone

G

C Am
Thought the kettle was a train

C Am
Thought that Monday was a door frame

C C/B A# Am
I tried so hard to finally settle down

C Am
Heard the fire pop and snap

C Am
Like a tack piano rag

C C/B A# G
I never could get used to happy sounds

Am C
But I hope the world's exposed

Am C
A cruel and elaborate hoax

Em G F
That convinces me to walk without a cane

G F
But what can you do
