Chords
[Verse 1]
Bb Towing the line F I watched the host drink all the wine C Dm And now she rambles through the who and who have not Bb F The old man is a painter of tired seascapes C Tired of adventure so my mind wanders Dm Picking at the table to cure the rot Bb Like a bird in a world with no trees F You were hung up there in your disbelief C Dm I know I'm a hard rock to drag around
[Chorus]
Bb F Love is in the early mornings Dm C In the shadows under the trees Dm G Not in the cuckolded ashes F C Floating down from the rookery Bb F C Down here I crow for you, you crow for me Bb F C Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
[Verse 2]
Bb Towing the line F I watched the host drink all the wine C Dm And now I'm purring for a drop of anything Bb Throwing stones at your window F You telling me as if it's simple C Dm Why can't you be like the blackbird and sing? Bb I say "I'm the westerlies in Ireland F So decadent and violent C Can't you see I'm a forager Dm Crawling at the bedrock?"
[Chorus]
Bb F Love is in the early mornings Dm C In the shadows under the trees Dm G Not in the cuckolded ashes F C Floating down from the rookery Bb F C Down here I crow for you, you crow for me Bb F C Down here I crow for you, you crow for me
