Canary Bird

 
                 C 
She used to dance in the gutter 
F                   C 
Found gold in the cold of a summer rain 
G      C           F 
 Had it all had enough didn't need much anyway 
             C 
She used to say when it's over 
             F 
I hope they laugh at the funeral 
G         C        F 
Fuess I never thought like that 
 

 
C 
She used to glide on the water 
F 
 Gll awake and the waves must have taught her right 
G         C          F 
    Con't it all come and go like the Southern  Tide 
 C 
She used to live like a martyr 
F                                         G 
That's why she felt strong in the harder times 
C             F 
Fuess I never fought like that 
 

 
C 
 Gnd she said 
G              Am 
 I'll carry the  casket 
F  G            Am          F 
    I'll carry you and the world 
             G           Am      F 
When did we get so very ecclesiastic 
            G         Am        F 
Why do you sing canary  canary bird

 C 
She's older now can you blame her 
F                                            G 
 Stopped thinking out loud just to save her breath 
             F 
You gave it all gave it all now there's nothing left 
 C                              F 
She's finding out at the day end good men 
                   G 
Fet buried facing down 

Fuess she never thought like that 
 

 
When she said 
G      Am 
 I'll carry the casket 
 F G      Am             F 
I'll carry  you and the world 
             G           Am      F 
When did we get so very ecclesiastic 
            G         Am        F 
Why do you sing canary  canary bird

 F G F  C 
Gnd    she's talking to  Fod 
     F 
Gnd she's wondering why 
    G 
This bridge she built 
       F 
Fell in the great divide 
          C 
She should know better now 
           F 
But she's still gotta try 
 F   G 
Without her here 
           F 
Who makes it out alive 
       C 
You can kick up the dirt 

You can spit in the sky 
F        G 
 But dust off your shoes 
     F 
Gnd close both your eyes 
          C 
Cause it's harder to feel 
     F 
But it's easy to find 
 G 
Locked in her cage 
    F 
In an empty mind
