Another gem from Beast Epic. The studio version is played in open tuning with many hammer-ons, picking and
incomplete chords. This is just how I play it in standard tuning.
[Verse 1]
F Gm Csus2 F F Gm Songbirds in the morning, had my head lost in the tall trees Bb F I knew well, well I would say C Bb Dreaming my dry weeds F Gm Csus2 F Stray light finds its way to all of us F Gm Csus2 Say something green, it comes back Bb F C Bb Sign light on my lips, let 'em kiss, dark leaves Bb Bb/A Gmadd4 Let the hands of the wrong prophets heal me all they should Bb Bb/A Gmadd4 Let the wine of the poison Jesus says tastes good C Bb F F And all those trees lay down if you were a bird and fell into my arms
[Chorus]
Dm Bb If I wrote your song in stone Dm Bb If I wore your wings back home Dm C Bb F Where the dreams in the backwater drown us far from home
[Verse 2]
F Gm Csus2 F Give this to the gray, it comes back gold F Gm Csus2 Bb Birds of the morning, they may know Bb F C Bb Know more than us, giving their hymns for life Bb Bb/A Gmadd4 Let the waves on the wrong water say what they will say Bb Bb/A Gmadd4 While the wind and the broken branches blow me away C Bb F F All tall tree lay down if you were the bird who fell into my arms
[Chorus]
Dm Bb I could write your song in stone Dm Bb I could wear your wings back home Dm C Bb F Where the dreams in the backwater drown us far from home
