         A                  D
Oh baby bird
I'm glad you don't cry anymore

Be brave
                D
One day you'll fly, you'll soar

But don't forget where you come from
D                  E        A      E
The vultures that watch your back
         A                   D
Oh baby bird
I'm glad that you quit your chirping
       A
That songbird shit was worthless
    D                         A       E     D
And no one would've heard you hacking up a tune

Screeching like a hawk in the sky

🎸 Chorus:

Sharpen your talons and fight
             A    E      D    E        F#m
Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
             C#
We raised you right

Hawk in the night
             D A
Hawk in the night

         A                  D
Oh baby bird
I'm glad you don't smile anymore
                 A
It means you're strong
                D
The weak never have their wings unfurled
     A    E    D
You know your place
    D                E          A        E
At least you're not fighting for scraps
         A                   D
Oh baby bird
I'm glad that you quit your laughing

It's too loud
                   D                           A    E      D
That awful bubbly sound that would happen when you were a child

Screeching like hawk in the sky

        D                   E
Oh baby bird
I'm glad you don't come 'round no more
             A                      F#m
And when you do, there's fire in those eyes
     D
You talk about a friend
     E
Of feathers sharpening
    A            C#        G A
And plumes stuck in their side

🎸 Verse 3:
         A                           D
Oh baby bird, the nightingale can't soar like an eagle
     A
Its wings are much too fragile
     D
It's weak like its ego
    A   E             D
But us child, you and I
D          E            A  E
We've got pride on our side
         A                           D
Oh baby bird, the hunting birds can live their lives alone
           A
Who needs friends?
                           D
And dead weight's all that other birds are made of
    A    E    D
So fight the world
D              E          A
Screech like a hawk in the sky

🎸 Chorus:
D                       E
Sharpen your talons and fight
             A    E      D    E        F#m
Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
               C#
We raised you right
            D A
Hawk in the night
            D A
Hawk in the night
            D A
Hawk in the night
            D A
Hawk in the night
