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

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

[interlude]
C#m

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

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

[interlude]
C#m

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

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

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