D5
They say there's an underground river,That none of us can see,
And it flows through winding tunnels,
F G D5 On its way to a tide-less sea. D5 And across that sea is an island,
A paradise we are told,
Where the toils of life are forgotten,
F G D5 And they call it the Island of Souls. Bb C D For only a soul can go there, Bb C D A soul that's been set free, Bb C D From the confines of a working life, F G D To find eternity. D5 Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
But that's really where he kept his soul,
And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
Least that's how it was told.
Bb C D But his soul was still trapped in the cage son, Bb C Am While the birds they soared to the sky, F G D But he couldn't find his own way out, F G D Least not 'til the day he died. D5 Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
This solitary madness is where he is driven,
F G D Am It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son. F G D5 It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. D5 I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words,
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds,
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done,
F G D Am It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son. F G D5 It was him that was trapped in the soul cage. D5 Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
This solitary madness is where he is driven,
F G D Am It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son. F G D5 It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
