Intro (as above, played through twice)
Verse 1
D
Down to a river by an old dirt track
D
I was running like a rabbit hiding in the grass
Em7add9
I met a little fish swishing in a stream
Em7add9 Em7add9/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?
Em7add9
She said I'm alright, I'm feeling OK, you know
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
Thanks for asking how are you today?
D
I told her I was happy just scooting around
D
I asked her if she'd like to see my hole in the ground
Em7add9
But she wouldn't have it & was kind of upset
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
I asked her what's the problem? 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
Em7add9
But if you'd like to see my little rock in the reeds
Em7add9 Em7add9/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
Em7add9
So I waited on the river by the side of the track
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
Listening for a ripple but she never came back
Chorus
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em7
That's where I live & I run so fast
G D
But lately out of the water
A Em7
Since I met you I ain't been sober
G5
I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream
G5
Waiting for a fish I seen
G5 G5
Verse 2
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
Em7add9
He just laughed & he narrowed his eyes & said
Em7add9 Em7add9/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
Em7add9
I waited by the river where I spent most my time
Em7add9 Em7add9/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 I would drown
Em7add9
Gathered all my strength & kicked him hard in the arse
Em7add9 Em7add9/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
Em7add9
I waited & I trembled & I didn't come out
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
Trying to figure out what all that was about
Chorus
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em7
That's where I live & I run so fast
G D
But lately out of the water
A Em7
Since I met you I ain't been sober
G5
I'm just a drunk little rabbit waiting by a stream
G5
Waiting for a fish I seen
G5 G5
Verse 3
D
Eventually I figured it had been a mistake
D
So I visited my neighbour, a big black bellied snake
Em7add9
I told her about the fishy that was down in the stream
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
& all about the eagle that was cranky & mean
D
She just smiled & hissed & waggled her tongue
D
Then she whispered in my ear the word she said kinda stung
Em7add9
She told me I was nosey & as dumb as they come
Em7add9 Em7add9/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
Em7add9
And I had myself a vision like a wonderful dream
Em7add9 Em7add9/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
Em7add9
She told me I was welcome to join her in the black
Em7add9 Em7add9/A
So I did & I was happy & I never looked back
Chorus/Outro
G D
Baby, out in the wildgrass
A Em7
That's where I lived & I run so fast
G D
But lately I'm out of order
A Em7
Since you left me I'm drowned in water
G5
I'm an unhappy little rabbit drowning in a stream
G5
Down among the fish I seen
G5 G5
Then play the 'D' intro picking pattern x 2
Finish on D chord
