This is a fun song to play, and has an interesting song structure. While most music sticks to the
four-line phrase, Danny Michel has mixed things up here and gone with five lines per phrase. It
may take some getting used to, but stick with it, because this is a fun song to play.
This song uses a bass strum pattern, with the full strums on the 2 and 4 beats of the bar
It's possible to use a capo to reduce the number of barre chords, but it eliminates
the transition chords you can play at the end of the second line

F#mSo I slept in a rowboat and I Aanchored far from shore
                     D              F     F#m   E   F   F#mx2
Now I don't hear them chainsaws no more
F#mI woke in the morning when Asomeone pulled the plug
BmI was stranded in the C#lake-bottom F#msludge
BmWith all the tires, C#7paint cans, and things
[Chorus]
Well F#mevery little Bmcritter in Afeather fur and Dfin
ACried to mother Dnature to F7come back for them

F#mShe cried for Bmall of them, Efeather fur and F#mfin
F#mShe cried for Bmall of them, Efeather fur and F#mfin

                       D          F     F#m   E   F   F#mx2
And I laid there in the sand all day
F#mI turned on a radio and I C#heard the DJ say,
"Well D7batten down the C#hatches down F#mSanta Elena way."
BmI swam the ocean reef, but the C#7coral all was grey
[Chorus]
F#mEvery little Bmcritter in Afeather fur and Dfin

F#mShe cried for Bmall of them, Efeather F#mfur and fin
F#mShe cried for Bmall of them, Efeather F#mfur and fin
[Bridge]
BmShe saw the eagle's eye, Eweeping in the willow
F#mShe prayed to the mantis, and she Bmcried into her pillow
EFor the salmon in the Fraser, and the Bm7salamander's kin
F#mShe cried for Bmall of them, Eyeah feather F#mfur and fin

                      D         F     F#m   E   F   F#mx2
And I laid there on an asphalt lawn
F#mAnd she cried out a thousand days of C#hurricanes and floods
D7Her face ran with C#tears, and the F#mstreets ran with blood
BmFur coats and sushi boats and C#7diesel in the air
[Chorus]
