David Gray – One With The Birds (Guitar Live)

         G    F              C
Leave me alone is all that I say

            G      F               C
When I have nothing in me to give away

                       F    G              C  G/B  F
A purple martin in her house, she hollers at me

       G       F             C
Why be inhuman ? Why be like me ?

             G      F              C
Like so many robins, like so many doves

             G        F             C
Like so many lovebirds with so many loves

                      F       G           C  G/B  F
Like the songs of the bobwhite without any words

               G   F                  C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

              G      F                  C
At six in the morning you rise from the pillow

               G        F           C
Stand steaming above me ; I slumber below

                 F                          C  G/B  F
I'm one with the blanket laying fragrant and loose

                  G           F                  C
You're one with a whipporwill, you're one with a goose

             G     F              C
Like so many robins, like so many doves

             G        F              C
Like so many lovebirds with so many loves

                      F       G          C  G/B  F
Like the songs of the bobwhite without any words

            G      F                    C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

        Em         Asus2         A
So tweet with me and widely spread

         Em        Asus2      A
Your olive wings ; embrace my head

         Em      Asus2  A
Fly with me 'til we are dead

                      D           N.C.
And one with the birds

                G        F             C
Like so many seagulls, like so many hawks

             G       F             C
Like so many thrushes and so many cocks

                      F       G              C          G/B          F
A little swallow will tell you without using misleading heartrending words

           G      F                      C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

                  G       F                   C
"When we hide our feelings we may as well fly away"
