VALLEY OF THE BIRDS - The Stranglers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Christopher Painter
EbmEbm AbAb
Ray decided to be silly after all,
EbmEbm AbAb
He died a thousand times in the Viet war,
EbmEbm AbAb
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances,
F#F# AbAb
Into the valley of the bird absurd,
EbmEbm AbAb
I don't remember what it was the old man said,
EbmEbm AbAb
I know I'd tempted fate a thousand times before,
EbmEbm AbAb
So we strapped ourselves in and we took some chances,
F#F# AbAb
And had a fight for the brother who can be,
EbmEbm AbAb
Birdman,
EbmEbm AbAb
Looking for the waste land,
EbmEbm AbAb
Try'na get me face tanned,
F#F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
AbAb
We're flying through the valley of the birds,

EbmEbm AbAb
We decided all for all and all for one,
EbmEbm AbAb
And when I do I really wanna go in style,
EbmEbm AbAb
So without a sense of reason we explored life,
F#F# AbAb
Like throwing stoned into the great unknown of
EbmEbm AbAb
Birdman,
EbmEbm AbAb
Looking for the waste land,
EbmEbm AbAb
Try'na get me face tanned,
F#F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
AbAb
We're flying through the valley of the birds.
