Intro : Gm - Cm - Gm - Cm - Gm - D


Gm
when the rooks were laid in piles

by the sides of the road
Cm
crashing into the aerials

Gm
tangled in the laundery line

Cm
and gathered in a field
Bb - Gm - Cm
they were burned in a feathering pyre
D
with a cold black eye


Gm
when the swallows fell from the eaves

and the gulls from the spires
Cm
and starlings in the millions
Gm
will feed on the ground where they lie

Cm
the ambulance men said there's
Bb - Gm - Cm
nowhere to flee for your life
D
so we stayed inside
Bb
and we'll sleep until
Gm
the world of man is paralyzed


Gm
Oh the falconer awakes
Bb
to the sound of the bells
Cm
overhead and southbound
D
they are leaving his life

Gm
and each empty cage just rings
Bb
in his heart like a bell
Cm
underneath these cold stars
D
and his trembling night
Bb
and he cries of man
D
"let the kingdom come to nigh
Gm
let this dream be realized"
