Chords

[Intro] C G Am G [Verse]
      C               Dm            F
On my way through the wood wound a thread through the dream

Am          G
Nightfall, footfall

C           Dm           F
Trembling looking for cracks in the seam

Am          G
Tree tall, river call

F
Tumbling branches brushing the beach

 Dm                           C G
Across the river just out of re-a-ch

       C           Dm           F
We are sat in the wish and the wave of our willow

Am          G
Wondering, wondering

      C             Dm            F
Ran away from this swish and the shade of our pillows

Am          G
Conjuring, conjuring

 F
Waitin' for the lick of the wind

         Dm                                   C G Am G
And the rising sun draws a kiss from the bird s-o-o-o-ng
[Chorus]
          Am   G/B   C
There’s a blackbird perched

       Dm              F
in the branches of the silver birch

Em              G           C
Growing from my chambered heart

 Em                 G        C
Singing through the rising dark

  Em            G        C
Singing of the world to come
[Verse]
        C             Dm           F
Can you hear with thе ears of the owl and the ottеr

Am          G
Listening, listening

     C        Dm           F
An accordion plays as the day grows hotter

Am          G
Glistening, glistening

          F
There's a wildwood, starting its march

     Dm                           C G
As a kingfisher flashes over the ma-a-rsh

C          Dm            F
Far out to sea there's a strange kind of silence

Am        G
Gull cry, still sky

   C             Dm         F
A pause in the storm and a lull in the violence

Am        G
Sun high, fly by

 F
Breathing drops from fast to steady

Dm                                          C G Am G
Time slows down till we're caught in its eddy-y-y-y
[Chorus]
          Am   G/B   C
There’s a blackbird perched

       Dm              F
in the branches of the silver birch

Em              G           C
Growing from my chambered heart

 Em                 G        C
Singing through the rising dark

 Em             G        C
Singing of the world to come

Em             G       C
Singing of the rising sun

Em            G       C
Singing of forgotten floods

Em                  G        C
Singing through the ancient mud

Em               G        C
Singing with the opening flower

Em              G        C
Singing in this precious hour

Em             G        C
Singing of the broken word

Em             G          C
Singing of the tales you heard

Em              G        C
Singing of the dreamer's wood

Em            G          C
Singing of a glimpse of good

Em             G      C
Singing as the river flows

Em               G          C
Singing with the hope that grows

Em             G        C
Singing of the world to come
