Owls
From the album Wilderness
[INTRO]
D
[VERSE 1]
G Em
The blue house at the corner of Twilight and State
A D
Four storeys, soaring turrets, floors of wood parquet
G Em
And owls, so many owls, snowy, horned and screech
A D
Thousands of owls, all flapping their wings
[PRE-CHORUS]
A G D
How I love the marble staircase, the claw-footed tubs
Em A A7
The room of rare orchids, the glass hall for my guns
D G
Statues of pharaohs, 20 feet tall,
A D
crystal chandeliers, rare paintings of clowns
[CHORUS]
A G D
But the owls, so many owls, I'm never alone
G A D
The owls make this blue house a home
[SOLO]

[w/ SLIDE]
[VERSE 2]
D G
How peaceful it is to watch them soar
A D
Through the palm-tree ballroom with its gold-paneled doors
G Em
And as I sit by the fire and slip off my boots
A D
They perch on harpoons and the stuffed heads of moose
[PRE-CHORUS]
A G D
The apothecary closet is lined with shelves
Em A A7
But deeper than expected and slanted as well
D G
How long have I been here searching for my pills
A D
As the ceiling grows upward and the walls start to swell
[CHORUS]
A G D
Oh, the owls, the owls, with their feathers of silk
G A D
The owls, they mock me and have stolen my pills
[SOLO]

Oh the owls, the owls, with their shining green eyes
G A D
The owls, they will save me, if not today then tonight
