Verse 1:

 Cm                                    Eb

Strange things happen in the nighttime hours

G#                             Bb

Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers

Cm                                          Eb

Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver

    G#                                   Bb

and powerful men raise their hands and deliver

Cm                                    Eb

All the superstitions to which we all cling

G#                                       Bb

While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs string

    Cm                               Eb

The sun hides itself, concealing its grin

    G#                                   Bb

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again





Chorus:

Cm

Oh, young cardinals

G#                  Fm

Nesting in the trees

Cm

Oh, hear our songs

    G#

And reign your 

               Fm

innocence on me





Post chorus:

1 2 3 4!!!





Verse 2:

 Cm                                    Eb

Strange things happen in the nighttime hours

G#                             Bb

white tails graze and wolves devour

Cm                                          Eb

Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines

G#                                  Bb

Nicotine babies being born with no spines

    Cm                             Eb

The god of the sea is swinging his trident

    G#                               Bb

We stoke our fires with the bones of tryants

    Cm                                        Eb

The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din

    G#                                   Bb  Cm--

And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again





(Repeat Chorus)

  Young cardinals 

take flight

G/B

  return to nest in 

the black of night

  There are things you 

                  F/A

were not meant to know

(Repeat)





(Repeat Chorus)
