VALLEY OF THE BIRDS - The Stranglers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Christopher Painter
[D#m]Ray decided to be [G#]silly after all,
He [D#m]died a thousand times in the [G#]Viet war,
[D#m]So he strapped himself in and he [G#]took his chances,
[F#]Into the valley of the[G#] bird absurd,
[D#m]I don't remember what it was the o[G#]ld man said,
I k[D#m]now I'd tempted fate a thousand [G#]times before,
[D#m]So we strapped ourselves in and we [G#]took some chances,
[F#]And had a fight for the [G#]brother who can be,
[D#m]Birdma[G#]n,
Looking for the [D#m]waste lan[G#]d,
Try'na get me [D#m]face tann[G#]ed,
It's beautiful, we're [F#]beautiful,
We're flying through the [G#]valley of the birds,

[D#m]We decided all for all and [G#]all for one,
And [D#m]when I do I really wanna [G#]go in style,
[D#m]So without a sense of reason [G#]we explored life,
[F#]Like throwing stoned into the[G#] great unknown of
[D#m]Birdma[G#]n,
Looking for the [D#m]waste lan[G#]d,
Try'na get me [D#m]face tann[G#]ed,
It's beautiful, we're [F#]beautiful,
We're flying through the [G#]valley of the birds.
