Bird On A Leash chords by Horse Feathers

[Capo 5]

Bird on a Leash is a great song off of Horse Feather's 2012 album Cynic's New Year.

Am            F
As crass as your mother, keen to the chance,
     C            G
You would live by the seat of your pants,
       Am             F
And you were taught you should have all things you can take,
       C            G
It's getting caught that makes you a thief.
          Am
By the skin of your teeth.

Am F C G x 2


   F       C
It's true you were running for cover,
  G             Am
The worst of the worst was not done,
     F          C
You can't find comfort in any other,
G             Am
Set in your ways like the sun.


    Am        F
Not one tune had changed like scattered leaves,
    C             G
All her clothes strung out on the eves.
     Am             F
There's a reckoning that's coming to make something right,
     C            G
There's a man here who's picking a fight,
          Am      F     C
It's on like a light.
  G           Am
No future or history too bright.


Am F C G


   F       C
It's true you were running for cover,
  G             Am
The worst of the worst was not done,
     F          C
You can't find comfort in any other,
G             Am
Set in your ways like the sun.
F  C    G    Am
Shee----ee's worrying me,
F       C
A bird on some leash,
    G          Am
Flying nowhere but dying to be.


Am F C G x 2
F C G Am x 2


F       C
A bird on some leash,
    G          Am
Flying nowhere but dying to be.

F       C
Caught by some pride,
   G         Am
Only virtue will get you untied.
