Shrike chords by Hozier

INTRO:   C Dm C Dm C

VERSE 1:
C                                 Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
                           C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
C                                           Dm
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
  Dm                        F              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now


CHORUS:
Am        G
Bites on above
      C           F
But never would form
       Am           G      C            Am
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
              G         C     F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
         Am             Gsus4                C Dm
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm Am G C

VERSE 2:
C                                    Dm
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
Dm                       F                C
All of that goodness is going with you now
C                                   Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
Dm                     F              C
All of my goodness is going with you now


CHORUS:
 Am      G     C              F
Driving along, fall on your thorn
Am             G             C            Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Am             G        C       F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
           Am            Gsus4              C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm G C
C Dm Am G C

VERSE 3:
C                                    Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Dm                          F            C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
C                                       Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Dm                          F            C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

CHORUS:
         Am             G
I was hatched by your warmth
C          F
Thus transformed
           Am           G          C       Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am             G        C       F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
           Am            Gsus4              C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
