 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

 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.

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.
