Am Am E E Am Am
Am Am
cattail down,
E E Am Am E E
the morning rail yard whistle blows.
Am Am
cattail down,
E E Am Am E E
our boxcar bound for... no one knows.
Dm Dm
after every hidden seed out
G G
from it covering has been freed,
C C B B Am Am
when every book has been discarded from the bookshelf.
F F
cattail down,
E E Am Am E E Am Am E E
and the forgetting of myself.


Am Am
cattail down,
E E Am Am E E
replace the feathers in our vest.
Am Am
cattail down,
E E
surround the ivy
Am Am E E
that's gone to poison in my chest.
Dm Dm
"the parachutes broke loose,"
G G
cried the goose with misplaced
C C B B
but understandable concern
Am Am
for his little brother's mental health.
F F
his happy little brother,
E E Am Am E E Am Am E E
in the forgetting of himself.

Bridge
Am Am E E (x4)
Dm Dm G G C C B B Am Am F F E E
Am Am E E (x2)

Am Am
cattail down,
E E Am Am E E
around the bulrush, the pollen shed.
Am Am
cattail down,
E E
to dress my wounds,
Am Am E E
it left a bee sting in their stead.


Dm Dm
headed east out of st. paul,
G G
we stopped for water.
C C
rested in the cemetery,
B B Am Am
watched the mississippi.
Dm Dm
running out of food stamps,
G G
found a bag along the footpath
C C
off highway 61 filled with
B B Am Am
what looked like marijuana.
(don't worry mom, we left it there)

Dm Dm
hopped a grainer out a pig's eye
G G
toward milwaukee, the deer
C C B B
between the tower and the tracks,
Am Am
saw right through us.
Dm Dm
said, "you don't know where you came from,
G G
you don't know where you're going,
C C
you think you're you-
B B
you don't know who you are,
Am Am
you're not you.
you're everyone else."

Dm Dm G G C C B B Am Am (x6)
you're everyone else.
