[Intro]
(harmonics)
D
[Verse 1]
D She's lived alone in a little home Bm A G By the Township of King D In the morning she'd feed the birds Bm A G And listen to them sing D From the woods they flock to her Bm A G Knowing she would do no harm D Flying over the patchwork quilt Bm G Of the fields and the farms C G D Of the fields and farms, D D D G oh yeah
D D D G
[Verse 2]
D Then one day a yellow bird Bm A G Landed on her hand D Devoted, it sang to her Bm A G So that she could understand D It warned of the trucks coming up the road Bm A G Full of concrete and steel D Come to cut down all the trees Bm A G And pave over the field
C G Bm
D D D G Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Bm A G D Come come, the sky is grey Bm A Em A Come come, we'll find a way
[Verse 2]
D They were building an amusement park Bm A G Where the forest once did stand D With gypsum built a mountain Bm A G And they'll call it Wonderland D I will feed you and care for you Bm A G Until you are strong and tall D And I will climb upon your back Bm A G And we'll fly away in the fall C G Bm We'll fly away, D D D G fly away
[Chorus]
Bm A G D Come come, the sky is grey Bm A Em A Come come, we'll find a way
[Verse 3]
D Then one day they flew away Bm A G And it was the strangest thing D To watch them all fly as she waved goodbye Bm A G To the Township of King C G Bm To the Township of King, D D D G oh yeah
[Outro]
