Chorus:
   D                      G            D
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant

And the sonnet was a piece upon the floor
                       G
It was in the falling rain
                         E
That you said you'd come again--------
     A                    D                 
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
              G                        D
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel cant
                          G             D
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant


                          G             D
There's some truth inside that Immanuel Cant

And its there for you to crawl around and see
                         G
It will hang around your find
           D             E
Like a millstone on your mind
    A                          D
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant
               G                D
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can
                          G              D
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Cant

John "hums" between stanzas


----------
* Immanuel Kant. German philospher 1724-1804
May be who John is thinking about here. A lot of his songs 
interject such thoughts of little known people.(that is to people like me)...v.g.note
