Herman Brood - Sleepin' Bird

D              play these chords
G     D  A     four times


G                                     Bm
He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey
A                       F#
ridin' the desert for a million miles a day
Gm                       Bm
And there ain't no barricades anymore
A                            F#
between the mountains and the very floor

G               D                    A
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood
G                  D          A
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)

Chorus:
D                  G     D     A
Never seen, he was never heard
D                G         D   A
passin' by like a sleepin' bird

G                                                 Bm
He took his time, when they shot him through the head
A                                  F#
before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead
G                         Bm
one day someone is gonna plead against your name
A                                    F#
he won't mark if you win or lose, or how you'll play the game
G                        D                  A
One day someone is gonna plead against your style
G                          D               A
So uptight - he just can't take away your smile
he was

Chorus:
D                  G     D     A \
Never seen, he was never heard    \
D                G         D   A    play twice
passin' by like a sleepin' bird   /

G               D                    A
Dark spot as he quits the neighbourhood
G                  D          A
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

G               D                    A
skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round

Chorus:
D                  G     D     A \
Never seen, he was never heard    \
D                G         D   A    play until the song fades out
