FEATHERS
words by Emily Dickinson's "'Hope' is the thing with feathers"
music by The McMakens
V1
G+G D MajorD C majorC
?Hope? is the thing with feathers -
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
That perches in the soul -
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G
And sings the tune without the words -
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
And never stops - at all -
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And never stops - at all -
V2
G+G D MajorD C majorC
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
And sore must be the storm -
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G
That could abash the little Bird
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
That kept so many warm -
C majorC D MajorD G+G
That kept so many warm -
V3
G+G D MajorD C majorC
I?ve heard it in the chillest land -
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
And on the strangest Sea -
A minorAm D MajorD C majorC G+G
Yet - never - in Extremity,
A minorAm G+G D MajorD
It asked a crumb - of me.
C majorC D MajorD G+G
It asked a crumb - of me.
