      Cuckoo, far from your home 
F#m7            B7          Gmaj7             A7 
Strange is your song to the tree where you've flown 
D#m7(b5)       G#7         C#m7       F#13 F#7(b13) 
Counting the stars in an unfamiliar sky

Cuckoo, do you wonder why?

Dmaj7   G#m7          C#7 
Cuckoo, I've seen you hide 
F#m7          B7          Gmaj7       A7 
Safe from the ways of the world there outside 
D#m7(b5)     G#7              C#m7         F#13 
Is there a hope that you'll never, never show? 
G#m7         G7          C#m7 A7 
Cuckoo, with you it will grow

      Cuckoo, did you know? 
F#m       F#mmaj7       F#m7    F#m6 
      The earth's far below you now 
        Bm7             Emaj7   Bm7 Emaj7 
But the air is wide and waiting 
Bm7       Bm7/A       G#m7(b5) F#sus 
      Cuckoo, did you know? 
F#m       F#mmaj7    F#m7 F#m6    F#m7(b5) 
      You carry your home in your wings 
       Fmaj7                      Dmaj7 G#m7 C#7 
In the darkness of sorrow, you'll sing

Truth's in the song you sing plainly by night

All while you stay out of sight

      Cuckoo, why is it that you

Freeze before the fall with a feather too few?

Open your eyes, day by day, by day, by day
