SHEARWATER - Rooks (2008)
(Original tuning, but a bit easier in A-minor.)
Intro : Gm - F7 - Gm - F7 - Eb - D7
Gm
when the rooks were laid in piles
by the sides of the road
F7
crashing into the aerials
Gm
tangled in the laundery line
F7
and gathered in a field
Bb - F/A - Eb
they were burned in a feathering pyre
D7
with a cold black eye
Gm
when the swallows fell from the eaves
and the gulls from the spires
F7
and starlings in the millions
Gm
will feed on the ground where they lie
F7
the ambulance men said there's
Bb - F/A - Eb
nowhere to flee for your life
D7
so we stayed inside
Cm
and we'll sleep until
D Gm
the world of man is paralyzed
Gm - F7 - Gm - F7 - Eb - D
Gm
Oh the falconer awakes
Bb
to the sound of the bells
Cm
overhead and southbound
D7
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
and his trembling night
Eb
and he cries of man
Cm D
"let the kingdom come tonight
Gm
let this dream be realized"
