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 


[Refrão]
 
     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 


[Refrão]
 
        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
