DmI need a Gbride, but the C-extdolphins are Amrunnin',
A Fwoman who'd cG-barry, But the Csea must proA7vide
A cDmhild to unrGavel The C-extsnarled nets of lAmovin';
DmFirst things fD9irst when you get to the G7sea.
    FRich man Emeats when he DmwishesG
    A Dmpoor manAm whenever he Gcan.G7

I need a home, but my boots keep goin',
Healing and peace that a fire would provide.
A place to unburden my brain of its sorrow;
First things first when you get to the fire.
    Rich man eats when he wishes
    A poor man whenever he can.

I need a song, but the spring is for sowing,
A word to the wise that the Earth must provide
A tune to untangle the riddle of growing;
First things first when you get to the land.
    Rich man eats when he wishes
    A poor man whenever he can.

I need the moon, but the landlord needs money,
A field of wild flowers that the stars could provide.
A bird for my shoulder to fly through the rainbow;
First things first when you get to the sky.
    Rich man eats when he wishes
    A poor man whenever he can.
