 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.
