C                    F                    C
  I Think I'll look around for a whooping crane

F                                         C      C/B
  I Think I'll look around for a whooping crane

Am                       F         C
  What do you think this pain has got me?

Am                 F            C    
  You think I'm uptight but I'm not

                                     F
It's just that, I look around for a whooping crane

               G    C
  and I can't find one.
[Verse 2]
C                      F                     C
So, I Think I'll look around for a drinking stream

F                                         C        C/B  
  I think I'll look around for a drinking stream

Am                        F        C
  They say you turned the water to wine

Am                         F          C
  And they must have been right this time because 

                       F                          G    C     C  C/B Am
  I look around for a drinking stream and I can't find one.
[Chorus]
Am               F              C        C/B   Am  
  Mighty red man painted ponies brown

Am               F              C  
  Fallen Eagle, feathers on the ground

          F             Am7       Dm     C         
  and the bullets they spin your dreams around

           F           Am7       Dm    C
  and they paint your face on a penny brown

C                      F                     C
So, I think I'll look around for the yellow stones

F                                          C
  I think I'll look around for the yellow stones

Am                     F       C       C/B
  Set your eyes on the eagle's flight,

Am                                F         C
  Cause the, the eyes of God have lost their sight.  Because,

                                F                  G    C    C C/B Am
  I look around for the yellow stones, but I can't find none.

  and the bullets they spin your dreams around

           F           Am7       Dm     C
  and they paint your face on a penny brown
