Elliott Murphy – Canaries In The Mind (Ukulele)

F
You say the world is doing fine

C
Except for the canaries down in the mine

G
they’re just not singing anymore

C
They’re lying lifeless on the floor

F
Some say love is like oxygen

C
And since you left me I’ve been suffering

G
Round and round like a weathervane I go

C
And I can’t find which way the wind will blow

F
In fact this whole thing is a mystery

C
And I’m feeling less and less free

G
Locked between the bars of my birth and my death

C
What my crime was well I can only guess

F
But you were the light in my darkness night

C
I was blind when you gave me sight

G
To see all that was beautiful

C
My empty life so lush lush and full

F
Oh your body was my temple of doom

C
A sanctuary and a living tomb

G
Where I was buried in two seconds flat

C
I know you said sometimes love is like that

F
But all I have left is a lock of your hair

C
At least I think it’s yours but baby I don’t care

G
I you gave me presents I can’t find them now

C
You said you did but I got my doubts

F
Because all you told me were sweet sweet lies

C
I could have been one a thousand guys

G
You could never get enough of you

C
Who were so shocked when their time was through

F
That’s it for me I’m on my way home

C
I’m singing the last verse of like a Rolling Stone

G
Rest assure I never wanted you to change

C
Into something refined or prearranged

F
Some say the world is doing fine

C
And those canaries are done their time

G
But I can’t hear them singing anymore

C
I’m nearly lifeless on your floor
