This is what Aaron plays with an acoustic guitar.

A7- x02020
could play Am as Am7 too x02010. Can't quite tell what it's suppose to be.

intro: E
verse 

E
 Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay

As the nail beds rest in the calico hay

    A7           Am                   E
 The Fiji Mermaid dressed in macrame's

Wading road in the fork and a bend In the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon

 A7                 Am
 Melting like wax as that once full moons

  E
 Now waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore

Sharp Shots dull as a harlequins sword

       A7                  Am
 When doing as you please doesn't please you anymore

interlude: C G C A7 Am    C G C E
verse

E
 Stick of the match as the paraffin show

Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow

      A7                 Am
 The stone in what shell?

                  E
 You sure like to know now don't you?

A loom in the heir as the medicine came To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims

           A7                       Am
 But you'll miss having someone to blame

                  E
 For your sadness, now won't you?

Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring

        A7            Am
 We'll knead a little dough to get by

interlude: C G C A7 Am x2 verse

C                            E
 Did you come knocking on my door

Or did I come to yours?

C                             E
 Whose ship came washed up on whose shore?

And from what ocean floor?
