Am
This heart, it beats a soldier's drum

[Verse]

Dsus2
Wild wing and belly

F         C
She comes down

G             Am
Her dreams at night

F             C            G
She flies and flies in her other life

Am       F          C
When she comes back down

        G             Am
Yeah we sing and strum

[Chorus]

Am
We sing

This heart, this heart

Beats a soldier's drum

Am E [Verse]

Am
We turned it up, the buffalo grass

Dsus2
While weighing the looking glass

F      C           G      Am
Borrow breath like bird's wing

F         C         G       Am
My cup is not as my lover's string

F                   C
When she comes back round

   G        Am
We sing and strum

[Chorus]

Am
We sing

Am
This heart, this heart

Beats a soldier's drum
