intro : E
verse
E
stitch up the nets but the patch won’t stay

as the nail beds rest in the calico hay
A7 Am E
the fiji mermaid dressed in macrame’s

wading road in the fork and a bend

in the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon
A7 Am
melting like wax as that once full moons
E
now waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore

sharp shots dull as a harlequins sword
A7 Am
when doing as you please doesn’t please you anymore

interlude : C G C A7 Am C G C E
verse
E
stick of the match as the paraffin show

drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow
A7 Am
the stone in what shell?
E
you sure like to know now don’t you?

a loom in the heir as the medicine came

to the nest of the mare of the mystery claims
A7 Am
but you’ll miss having someone to blame
E
for your sadness , now won’t you?

well maybe there’ll be a bakery hiring
A7 Am
we’ll knead a little dough to get by

interlude : C G C A7 Am x2

verse
C E
did you come knocking on my door

or did i come to yours?
C E
whose ship came washed up on whose shore?

and from what ocean floor?
