Текст песни Van Walker — Wildgrass + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
D
Down to a river by an old dirty track
D
I was running like a rabbit hiding in the grass
Em
I met a little fish swimming in a stream
A
Most pretty little fish that I ever seen
D
She was peaking up from out of the blue
D
I was wiggling my whiskers, I said How do you do?
Em
She said I'm alright, I'm feeling OK
A
Thanks for asking How are you today?
D
I told her I was happy just scooting around
D
Asked her if she'd like to see my hole in the ground
Em
But she wouldn't have it & was kind of upset
Em
I asked her What's the problem?
A
She said Well, is it wet?
D
I said No, it's dry, drier than the sun
D
She said That's problematic, beside which, I don't run
Em
But if you'd like to see my little rock in the reeds
A
Swim this way & follow me if you please
D
She swam a little circle then she dived deep down
D
I waited for a second but there wasn't a sound
Em
So I waited on the river by the side of the track
A
Listening for a ripple but she never came back
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em
That's where I live & I run so fast
G D
But lately out of the water
A Em
Since I met you I ain't been sober
G
I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream
G
Waiting for a fish I seen
D
I hopped out to the mountains out to visit a friend
D
I asked him if he had some kind of boat I could lend
Em
He just laughed & he narrowed his eyes & said
A
I'm an eagle, boy, I live in the sky
D
I said Well, no harm in askin' & I hopped on my way
D
But my friend flew overhead, he must have had more to say
Em
I waited by the river where I spent most my time
A
& my friend the eagle came flying out of the sky
D
He grabbed me by the ears & he swung me round
D
Way out over the river I thought he would drown
Em
Gathered all my strength & kicked him hard in the arse
A
He dropped me & I landed with a thud in the grass
D
Then I ran off like a rocket that was Jupiter bound
D
Back into my burrow, little hole in the ground
Em
I waited & I trembled & I didn't come out
A
Trying to figure out what all that was about
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em
That's where I live & I run so fast
G D
But lately out of the water
A Em
Since you left me I ain't been sober
G
I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream
G
Waiting for a fish I seen
D
Eventually I figured it had been a mistake
D
So I visited my neighbour, a big black bellied snake
Em
I told her about the fishy that was down in the stream
A
& all about the eagle that was cranky & mean
D
She just smiled & hissed & waggled her tongue
D
Then she whispered in my ear, but what she said kinda stung
Em
She told me I was nosey & as dumb as they come
A
I should not be hanging out where I don't belong
D
So I stumbled & I staggered back to the river's edge
D
I was feeling kind of sick so I layed down my head
Em
And I had myself a vision like a wonderful dream
A
Like I was floating in the ocean but in that very stream
D
And all the little fishies they were swishing around
D
& suddenly I saw that little fish I had found
Em
She told me I was welcome to join her in the black
A
So I did & I was happy & I never looked back
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em
That's where I live & I run so fast
G D
But lately out of the water
A Em
Since you left me I’m drowning in water
G
I'm an unhappy little rabbit drowning in a stream
G
Down among the fish I seen
D
