The Minnow The Trout

E                     B
help me out, said the minnow to the trout
      E                     B
i was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth
    E                       B
oh, help me chief, I’ve got plans for you and me
  Gbm
I swear upon this riverbed,
     B
I’ll help you feel young again
A            E
oh, not your everyday circumstance
    A
the hummingbird
       B
taking coffee with the ants, and I said


E                         A
please, I know that we’re different
            E                          A
but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning
    E    B     A           E   B   A
and what we’re made of was all the same once
      E   B    A               E
we’re not that different after all

E                    B
help me up, said the eagle to the duck
     E              B
I’ve fallen from my nest so high above
    E                 B
oh, help me fly, I am too afraid to try
    Gbm
now saddled with a fear of heights
    B
I’m praying you can set me right
A            E
oh, not your everyday circumstance
    A
the elephant
        B
sharing peanuts with the rats, and I said

please, I know that we’re different
            E                          A
