Verse 1:
Am
2000 birds
C
have reached the border
E7
of my brain
Am
I cannot stop them
F
from their flying and
E7
rigid and anxious
Am
I hear the wind of wings
F

their voices calling
G                F
and repeating: next of kin

we´re going south
E7
come on and join us
Am
in our flight
F
you´ll freeze here
E7
there´ll be ice-ferns in your heart

Verse 2:

2000 birds
Am
are flying in my brain
E7                         Am
they´re crying: let your indolence depart

Verse 3:
Am
2000 birds
C
I´ll close the windows
E7
lock the doors
Am
I´ll join them leave
E7
the cities of the past
Am
sophisticated world
C         F
of frozen glass and stone
F
2000 birds are calling
E7
and they´re calling for the last time

fly with us
F
that´s why I have to say
E7
farewell to the beloved
C
and for the last time
Am                    E7
close together we will cry

Verse 4:
Am
2000 birds
C              E7
have flown into my brain
E7             Am
I cannot help it I do not want to die
