Chords

[Intro] G C x5 [Verse 1]
         G                      C
In this autumn town where the leaves can fall

    G                   C
On either side of the garden wall

     Em                 C              D      C
We laugh all night to keep the embers glowin'

           G                      C
Some are leapin' free from their moving cars

G                             C
Stackin' stones 'round their broken hearts

Em               C                    D      C
Waving down any wind that might come blowin'
[Verse 2]
Em                       C
Mice move out when the field is cut

Em                      C
Serpents curl when the sun comes up

G               C                    D    C
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'

G                   C
Some get rain and some get snow

G                    C
Some want love and some want gold

G               D               G
I just want to see you in the mornin'
Em C x2 [Hook]
Em                     C
Dogs lay down in the evenin' heat

Em                        C
Fish do worse when they leave the sea

G               C                    D    C
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'
[Verse 3]
         G                       C
In this autumn town where the lights can change

G                   C
Some get mercy and some get blame

Em                       C                D    C
Some get lost when they feel the river flowin'

          G                   C
It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast

    G                       C
We hold our hats while the days fly past

Em                      C                 D    C
Cold wind comes and we wave but it keeps goin'
[Hook 2]
Em                   C
Fathers, Sons and Holy Ghosts

Em                      C
All come back or they all come close

G                C                  D     C
Songbirds only end up where they're going
[Verse 4]
G                  C
Some get hard and some go home

G                    C
Some want flesh and some want bone

G              D               G       C
I just want to see you in the mornin'
[Outro]
      G               D              C       G
Yeah, I just want to see you in the mornin'
