[Am] [E] [Am]
cattail d[Am]own,
the morning r[E]ail yard whistle bl[Am]ows.[E]
cattail d[Am]own,
our boxcar b[E]ound for... no one k[Am]nows.[E]
after e[Dm]very hidden seed out
from it c[G]overing has been freed,
when every [C]book has been dis[B]carded from the [Am]bookshelf.
cattail d[F]own,
and the forg[E]etting of myself.[Am][E][Am][E]

cattail d[Am]own,
replace th[E]e feathers in our [Am]vest.[E]
cattail d[Am]own,
surround the i[E]vy
that's gone to [Am]poison in my c[E]hest.
"the p[Dm]arachutes broke loose,"
cried the go[G]ose with misplaced
but understa[C]ndable c[B]oncern
for his lit[Am]tle brother's mental health.
his ha[F]ppy little brother,
in the forg[Em]etting of himself.[Am][E][Am][E]

cattail d[Am]own,
around the [E]bulrush, the pollen s[Am]hed.[E]
cattail do[Am]wn,
to dress my w[E]ounds,
it left a b[Am]ee sting in their s[E]tead.

headed e[Dm]ast out of st. paul,
we st[G]opped for water.
rested in the ce[C]metery,
w[B]atched the missi[Am]ssippi.
running out of [Dm]food stamps,
found a bag along the [G]footpath
off highway 6[C]1 filled with
what lo[B]oked like marij[Am]uana.
(don't worry mom, we left it there)

hopped a g[Dm]rainer out a pig's eye
toward [G]milwaukee, the deer
between the t[C]ower and the t[B]racks,
saw right thr[Am]ough us.
said, "you don't know where you c[Dm]ame from,
you don't know where you're g[G]oing,
you think you're [C]you-
you don't know [B]who you are,
you're n[Am]ot you.
you're everyone else."

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