[Bm]

[Verse 1]
Saw [D]an eagle on a [Bm]pole,
I [D]think it was [Bm]an eagle.
[D]Watched it[C#m]s' shadow fly
[Abaug]'cross the cement.
[Bm]And [D]I woke up in the s[Bm]now,
All [D]the trees, and crowds, [Bm]and people.
No [D]shirt, [C#m]no shoes, no [Am]idea [C]where they went.
[A]

[Verse 2]
I followed [Bm]the f[D]enceline thin,
Back [Bm]where the yard begin[D]s
My wo[F#m]man, she stood crying l[A]ike a man.
[Gm]Said, where have you b[A]een?[Gm]
Where have you [A]been?
[D]I thought [A]you said [Abaug]that all
of that was [Bm]done.
[D]El Cielo [C#m]es azul,
[Bm]Just don't go tell[Gm]ing everyone
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
Thought the [D]kettle was [Bm]a train.
Thought that [D]Monday was a door-frame.
[Bm]Tried [D]Tried so [C#m]hard to f[Abaug]i
nally settle [Bm]down.
[D]Heard the fire pop [Bm]and snap.
[D]Like a tack piano [Bm]rag.
I [D]nev[A]er could [C]get used to happy
[Abaug]sounds.[A]

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I hope the [Bm]world's exposed.
[D]A cruel and elabora[Bm]te hoa[D]x.
It con[F#m]vinces me to walk without
[A]a cane.[Gm]
But what can you do?
[A]Child, [Gm]what can you do?[A]
I [D]al ways [A]heard that [Abaug]what
is done is [Bm]done.
[D]El Cielo [A]es azul,
[Bm]Just don't go te[Gm]lling everyone
[D]

[Verse 5]
The [D]pas
t don't ever [Bm]quit.
There's [D]boxes in the at[Bm]tic.
[D]Baby [C#]shoes and [C]taxidermy [Bm]dream.
While the [D]ashes of [Bm]the dead,
like a dan[D]delion [Bm]head,
Ex[D]plode and [C#]then [C]are scattered
by the [A]breeze.
We're such [Bm]a long way [D]back to
all the fun [Bm]that we [D]had.
When [F#m]nothing ever seemed
to bother [A]me.[Gm]
But what can [A]you do?
Brother[Gm], what can you do[A]?
[D]Sleep [C#m]with the stars,
and [C]toil [Abaug]in the sun .[Bm]

[Verse 6]
[D]El Cielo [A]es azul,
[Bm]Just don't[Gm] go telling everyone
[D]El Cielo es [C#m]azul,
[Bm]Just don't go te[Gm]lling everyone
