 C# minorC#m            G# minorG#m
Through the charred black winter trees
  F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m
I hear their voices sing to me.
 C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m
Fearsome black birds crying high,
  F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m
But there'll be no warning when I die.
 C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m
Some lonesome sparrow saying don't you know
 F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m
that you're gone forever when you go

 BB         C# minorC#m
Oh, and i hear them calling
      BB      C# minorC#m
Through my window every morning
   BB          C# minorC#m
Your life dear boy means nothing
 G# minorG#m     G#G#
Say the birds, The birds, the birds

 C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
Then by the willow I did see
 F# minorF#m       C# minorC#m
A augmentedA swarm of buzzing honey bees
 C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
"Good morning honey bees" I cried
  F# minorF#m         C# minorC#m
But to me they offered no reply
 C# minorC#m             G# minorG#m
And that fearsome black bird answered instead
   F# minorF#m           C# minorC#m
"Boy there's now a price put on your head"

 BB           C# minorC#m
Oh, and I hear 'em them calling
    BB      C# minorC#m
From my window every morning
    BB          C# minorC#m
"Your life, dear boy, means nothing"
  G# minorG#m     G#G#
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.

C# minorC#m

G# minorG#m    BB     C# minorC#m
No use hiding in the water.
G# minorG#m    BB     C# minorC#m
No use hiding in the square.
G# minorG#m         BB       C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m
Know those eyes are looking for you everywhere.

 C# minorC#m          G# minorG#m
Well you'll be glad my love to hear,
 F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m
One morning they did all disappear.
  C# minorC#m      G# minorG#m
Tired of all the summer rain,
 F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m
they made their nest inside my brain.
 C# minorC#m           G# minorG#m
But don't worry darling, pay it no mind
 F# minorF#m            C# minorC#m
true friends like these are hard to find.

 BB           C# minorC#m
Now I no longer hear 'em calling
      BB     C# minorC#m
From my window every morning
     BB        C# minorC#m
And my life, at last means something
 G# minorG#m      G#G#
Say the birds, the birds, the birds.
