T[C#m]hrough the charred black w[G#m]inter trees
I h[F#m]ear their voices [C#m]sing to me.
F[C#m]earsome black birds c[G#m]rying high,
But[F#m] there'll be no warning [C#m]when I die.
S[C#m]ome lonesome sparrow [G#m]saying don't you know
th[F#m]at you're gone forever w[C#m]hen you go
O[B]h, and i hear them [C#m]calling
Through my [B]window every [C#m]morning
Your [B]life dear boy means [C#m]nothing
Sa[G#m]y the birds, [G#]The birds, the birds
(interlude)
[C#m]
T[C#m]hen by the willow [G#m]I did see
A [F#m]swarm of buzzing [C#m]honey bees
"[C#m]Good morning honey [G#m]bees" I cried
But[F#m] to me they offered [C#m]no reply
A[C#m]nd that fearsome black bird [G#m]answered instead
"Boy [F#m]there's now a price put [C#m]on your head"
Oh[B], and I hear 'em them [C#m]calling
From my [B]window every [C#m]morning
"Your l[B]ife, dear boy, means [C#m]nothing"
Say[G#m] the birds, [G#]the birds, the birds.
(interlude)
[C#m]
[G#m]No use hidi[B]ng in the w[C#m]ater.
[G#m]No use hidi[B]ng in the s[C#m]quare.
[G#m]Know those eyes are l[B]ooking for you[C#m] everywh[G#m]ere.
W[C#m]ell you'll be glad my [G#m]love to hear,
O[F#m]ne morning they did all[C#m] disappear.
Tir[C#m]ed of all the [G#m]summer rain,
th[F#m]ey made their nest ins[C#m]ide my brain.
Bu[C#m]t don't worry darling, p[G#m]ay it no mind
tr[F#m]ue friends like these are [C#m]hard to find.
No[B]w I no longer hear 'em [C#m]calling
From my win[B]dow every [C#m]morning
And my lif[B]e, at last means [C#m]something
S[G#m]ay the birds, [G#]the birds, the birds.
(interlude)
[C#m]
