verse:
C majorC               G+G
The finches and sparrows build nests in my chimney
   FF                       F minorFm
what remains of the small flightless birds that you failed to protect

C majorC          G+G          FF
but their yolk isn't easy in fact it's a drag
                     F minorFm      C majorC
as they're blowing through cornfields and mountains of rags
C majorC      G+G            FF
all over the suburbs across the great lawns
                  A minorAm
crop-dusting gardens all over this town

chorus:
C majorC     G+G              FF
but nobody cares when it gets in their hair
C majorC        G+G               FF
it gets in their lungs as it floats through the air
C majorC       G+G             FF
it gets in the food that they buy and prepare
      D7D7             G+G   FF
but nobody cares when it gets in their hair

whistle:


middle:
FF
across the great chasms and schisms and the sudden aneurisms
             C majorC        G+G        FF
where the black ink will drip across the crespice of your eyes
FF
and your teeth are worth more than you can spare-
     C majorC        G+G     FF
-oh don't tell me that it just isn't fair
FF
don't speak about the cycles of life 'cause your thoughts are so soft
    C majorC       G+G     FF    D7D7   G+G (fill 1)
I could cut 'em with a spork or a bride's kniii-i-fe

FF           C majorC   G+G  FF
and the wine made our mouths too loose
FF             C majorC   G+G  FF
such a reckless choice of words
FF             C majorC  G+G (F#F#)
when you tell me that I'm too "abstruse"
                G+G
I just thought it was a kind of bird
     (F#F#)
(I swear) I just stood there
       FF
not saying a word
       FF
not saying a word
       D7D7  G+G
not saying a word
