Country Joe and the Fish
Capo II *
B minorBm
B minorBm
The white ducks fly on past the sun,
A augmentedA B minorBm
their wings flash silver at the moon.
B minorBm
While waters rush down the mountain tongue,
A augmentedA B minorBm
my organs play a circus tune.
A augmentedA B minorBm
I dance to the wonder of your feet,
A augmentedA B minorBm
and sing to the joy of your knees.
B minorBm
The cold white dress on the mountain breast,
A augmentedA B minorBm
paints the frozen trees.
B minorBm
The maple plants patterns in the sky,
A augmentedA B minorBm
it's leaves to kiss the wind
B minorBm
While scores of glittering bugs and flies,
A augmentedA B minorBm
dance polkas on her limbs.
A augmentedA B minorBm
I whistle symphonies of your face,
A augmentedA B minorBm
and laugh for your hair so fine.
B minorBm
In startled greens of playground grass,
A augmentedA B minorBm
a child jumps rope to rhyme.
B minorBm
Reeds and brass, the marching drums,
A augmentedA B minorBm
make a joyous sound
B minorBm
Trees bend low with nuts and plums,
A augmentedA B minorBm
then fall to find the ground.
A augmentedA B minorBm
I hunger for your porpoise mouth,
A augmentedA B minorBm
and stand erect for love.
B minorBm
The sun burns up the winter sky,
A augmentedA B minorBm
and all the earth is love.
