[Intro]
| Em C | G | Em C | G |
[Verse 1]
Em C G D/F# Ever since you moved out Em C G I've been living in the park Em C G I'd rather talk to the wind Em C G Than an empty apartment Em C G D/F# And I wish I could forget Em C G How a billion birds flew in Em C G D/F# My hollow dying heart Em C G The first time I touched your arm
[Chorus]
Em G Am C Once there were a billion passenger pigeons C G D/F# So many flew by they darkened the sky
[Verse 2]
Em C G D/F# But they were clubbed and shot Em C G Netted gassed and burned Em C G D/F# Until there was nothing left Em C G D/F# But piles of empty nests
[Chorus]
Em G Am C I can't believe how easily C G D/F# A billion birds can disappear
[Verse 3]
Em C G D/F# The park is empty now Em C G It's so cold out Em C G D/F# And all the paddle boats Em C G D/F# Are covered up with snow
[Verse 4]
Em C G D/F# Once again it's dark Em C G the electric lights snap on Em C G But I'm still sitting here Em C G D/F# Drinking frozen beer
[Verse 5]
Em C G D/F# And throwing potato chips Em C G Into to the white snow drifts Em C G D/F# Just in case a bird decides Em C G To fly through here tonight
[Chorus]
Em G Am C I can't believe how easily C G D/F# A billion birds can disappear Em G Am C No I can't believe how easily C G D/F# A billion birds can disappear
