Verse:
C* G*
He's got feathers in his pockets,
Em* D*
He finds them lying by the side of the road,

Along the train tracks, by the water,
C* Em* D*
He thinks about the seed he has sown.
C* G*
He feels something tugging at him,
Pre-Chorus:
Em*
That pulls him close and lets him go,

He pulls it close, he lets it go.

He pulls you close and he lets you go.
Em* D*
His body's growing heavy underneath this mortal load.
