To poor blind birds

Verse 1:

G       G7             C
We were laughed out of eden (so they say)
G      D          C      D
In the wake of our first mistake
G          G7            C
And no one knew where the road was leading
G            D    C            D
We spent our days running from maze to maze

Poor blind birds, if we're anything

To poor blind birds

Since you been dead these seven years
G            D         C                    D
I've seen you twice in a glass of red brandy and ice
G      G7              C
As the sky filled with gold and spears
G          D      C        D
And hung a wreath in the house of grief

Chorus:

   G         G7             C
We live in a world we can't understand, ooh-ooh-ooh

And the end is not the end, ooh-ooh-ooh
G    D      G
For poor blind birds

G       G7            C
So I'm leaving on the bus tonight
G           D    C       D
Through the snow of shanando-ah
G      G7     C
In this long dream of life
G             D    C           D
It's a lonely road that leads us home

Poor blind birds, if we're anything
G       G7       C

For poor blind birds
