Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Cattail Down,
the morning [E]rail yard whistle [Am]blows[E]
Cattail [Am]Down,
our boxcar [E]bound for no-one-knows
after af[Am]ter [E]after ever[Dm]y hidden seed
out from its cov[G]ering has been freed
when every [C]book has been discarded
from the book[Am]shelf
Cattail [F]Down, in the for[E]getting
of [Am]myself[E][Am]
[E]
Cattail [Am]Down,
replace the [E]feathers in our [Am]vest[E]
Cattail [Am]Down, surround the [E]ivy that's
[Am]gone to poison in [E]my chest
the Para[Dm]chutes broke loose!,
cried the [G]Goose
with [C]misplaced
(but understandable) concerns
for his [Am]little Brother's mental health,
his [F]happy little Brother
in the forget[E]ting of [Am]himself[E][Am][E][Am][E]
[Am][E]
[Am][E][Am]
[E][Dm][G][C]
[Am][F][E][Am]
[E][Am][E]
Cattail [Am]Down,
the pollen shed around the [E]bulrush[Am][E]
Cattail [Am]Down, to dress my [E]wounds,
left a [Am]Bee sting in their [E]stead
headed [Dm]east out of St. Paul
we stopped [G]for water,
rested in [C]the cemetery,
watched the Mississippi
[Am]running out of food stam[Dm]ps,
found a bag along the foot
[G]path [C]off hwy 61
filled with what looked like
[Am]marijuana
[don't worry, Dad, we left it there...]

[Verse 2]
hopped [Dm]a grainer out of
Pig's Eye [G]twd Milwaukee
the Deer between the
[C]tower and the tracks
saw right [Am]through us, said:
you don't know where you [Dm]came from,
you don't know where you're go[G]ing.
you think you're you?
[C]no, you don't know who you are,
you're [Am]not you...
you're Everyone Else
[Dm](in thefor[G][C][Am]
[Dm]get[G][C][Am][Dm][G][C][Am]
