Cage The Songbird chords
The Low Anthem (Live at WFUV)
Capo III
G Gsus4 G 2x
Em G C
God cage the songbird
G Em D
Before the feathers run brown
Em G C
God bar the windows
Em D G
That we may though hollow be sound
Em C G
And this island shall be shackled to her waters
Em C D
Here we vow never to change
Em C G
Here we will stand at last for something
Em D G
With no desire to pretend
Em C G
Send up our prayers to gilded idols
Em C D
With their names etched in heartwood of palm
Em C G
And scatter the ashes of the contracts
Em D G
Their freedom so hollow a song
Em G C
God cage the songbird
G Em D
Before the feathers run brown
Em G C
God bar the windows
Em D G
That we may though hollow be sound
Em G C G Em D Em G C Em D G
Em C G
Now the street lamp will be tethered to her station
Em C D
As the poor man is tethered to the flesh
Em C G
As a wise man will be tethered to his wisdom
Em D G
As the mother is tethered to her crèche
Em C G
Was your hunger your awareness of salvation
Em C D
As your chances go slipping to the past
Em C G
Are you tortured by the changing of the seasons?
Em D G
And each grain of sand in the glass
Em G C
God cage the songbird
G Em D
Before the feathers run brown
Em G C
God bar the windows
Em D G
That we may though hollow be sound
Em G C
God cage the songbird
G Em D
Before the feathers run brown
Em G C
God bar the windows
Em D G
That we may though hollow be sound
