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
G
What can you do
C C/B A# Am
I always heard that what is done is done
C C/B Am
El cielo es azul
F C
Just don't go telling everyone

C Am
The past don't ever quit
C Am
There's boxes in the attic
C C/B A# Am
Baby shoes and taxidermy dreams
C Am
While the ashes of the dead,
C Am
like a dandelion head
C C/B A# G
Explode and then are scattered by the breeze
Am C
And it's such a long way back
Am C
to all the fun I had
Em G F
When nothing ever seemed to bother me
G
But what can you do
F G
Child, what can you do
C C/B A# Am
Sleep beneath the stars, and toil in the sun
C C/B Am
El cielo es azul
F C
Just don't go telling everyone
