Verse 1:
Bb majorBb
Towing the line
       FF
I watched the host drink all the wine
      C majorC                 DmDm
And now she rambles through the who and who of nots
Bb majorBb                FF
The old man is a painter of tired seascapes
               C majorC
Tired of adventure so my mind wanders
                 DmDm
Picking at the table to cure the wrong
    Bb majorBb
Like a bird in a world with no trees
     FF
You were hung up there in your disbelief
       C majorC         DmDm
I know I'm a hard rock to drag around

Chorus:
DmDm          FF
Love is in the early mornings
    DmDm        C majorC
In the shadows under the trees
     DmDm     G+G
Not in the cuckolded ashes
DmDm           C majorC
Floating down from the rookery

      Bb majorBb    FF         C majorC
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
      Bb majorBb    FF         C majorC
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me

Verse 2:
Bb majorBb
Towing the line
       FF
I watched the host drink all the wine
      C majorC           DmDm
And now I'??m purring for a drop of anything
     Bb majorBb
Throwing stones at your window
      FF
You telling me as if it's simple
       C majorC             DmDm
Why can't you be like the blackbird and sing?
        Bb majorBb
I say "I'm the westerlies in Ireland
  FF
So decadent and violent
        C majorC
Can't you see I'm a forager
       DmDm
Crawling at the bedrock?"

Chorus:
DmDm          FF
Love is in the early mornings
    DmDm        C majorC
In the shadows under the trees
DmDm          G+G
Not in the cuckolded ashes
DmDm           C majorC
Floating down from the rookery

      Bb majorBb    FF         C majorC
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
      Bb majorBb    FF         C majorC
Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
