      This is how I play the song. Lyrics are my own guesses!
Suggestions and corrections welcome.

[Intro]

D Em G A A x2

[Verse 1]

     D                  Em
And row me in felt, and row in fat
     G                            A
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
D                          Em
Row me into the snow, and sing to me of your choir
G                      A
Sing to me the key to your aeroplane's fire
         D                         Em
Well, I once was a Nazi, but every man has his fill
         G                             A
In the light of the concrete station your doctors eat pills

     G            A            D
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
     G                          D                 Bm
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie


[Chorus]

                           A
This is a song for a wild cat


[Verse 2]

     D                  Em
And row me in felt, and row in fat
     G                            A
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
   D                            Em
A man shot in the hand from indiscreet fire
G                         A
Fire burns the bones, and I emerge under a tire
     D                    Em
Oh, find me a wolf, and capture me a dog
          G                              A
And you float me to the New York on the back of a log
            D                         Em
Well my notebooks were blue as your peacocks were blue
G                                 A
Walk with me in the mazes to the old Berlin Zoo

     G            A            D
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
     G                          D                 Bm
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie


[Chorus]

                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat
                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat


[Bridge]

Bm                          Em
And your face in the sun, digging a road yet undone
F#                                         G
Well palm sweats and jobs help you to be alone in the do
Bm                               Em                   F#
And your face in the morning, unfurled as a sailor's last warning
                                  G                             Bm
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are lookin for you!"
Bm                         Em                     F#
And the night is forlorn, and a sail, oh, is born in clues
                                  G                             Bm
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are there for you!"


[Chorus]

                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat
                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat
                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat
                           A   A  Bm
This is a song for a wild cat


[Outro]

Bm D A A x4
