The Mountain Goats – Snow Owl (Ukulele)

  C                                F                  G
You came down from heaven to the branch outside my window

 C                      G        F
Your feathers were the color of snow

     G               C             F
The dice were loaded against us ever seeing each other

     C                         F
But one of us had nowhere else to go

          C                F                   G
In your eyes were all the colors the rainbow forgot

       C             G                F
Your wingspan was three feet wide or better

 C          G                         F               C
With your voice practicing notes from time's own beginning

  F                         G
You took apart the alphabet letter by letter

     C          G                  F
And here, where it all stops for good

  C                   F
Where the cool waters run

   C                    G
Thought I saw a mouse kicking in your beak

         C    G      F
It was only a skele-ton
