SHEARWATER - Rooks
Intro Gm - Cm - Gm - Cm - Gm - D
Gm
when the rooks were laid in piles
by the sides of the road
Cm
crashing into the aerials
Gm
tangled in the laundry lines
Cm
and gathered in a field
Bb - Gm - Cm
they were burned in a feathering pyre
D
with their cold black eyes
Gm
when the swallows fell from the eaves
and the gulls from the spires
Cm
and starlings in the millions
Gm
would feed on the ground where they lie
Cm
and the ambulance men said there's
Bb - Gm - Cm
nowhere to flee for your life
D
so we stayed inside
Bb
and we'll sleep until
Gm
the world of man is paralyzed
Gm
Oh the falconer awakes
Bb
to the sound of the bells
Cm
overhead and southbound Lyrics say north
D
they are leaving his life
Gm
and each empty cage just rings
Bb
in his heart like a bell
Cm
underneath these cold stars
D
in their trembling light
Bb
and he cries amen
D
let the kingdom come tonight
Gm
let this dream be realized
