C#m G#m Fearsome black birds crying high, F#m C#m But there'll be no warning when I die. C#m G#m Some lonesome sparrow saying don't you know F#m C#m that you're gone forever when you go B C#m Oh, and i hear them calling B C#m Through my window every morning B C#m Your life dear boy means nothing G#m G# Say the birds, The birds, the birds (interlude) C#m C#m G#m Then by the willow I did see F#m C#m A swarm of buzzing honey bees C#m G#m "Good morning honey bees" I cried F#m C#m But to me they offered no reply C#m G#m And that fearsome black bird answered instead F#m C#m "Boy there's now a price put on your head" B C#m Oh, and I hear 'em them calling B C#m From my window every morning B C#m "Your life, dear boy, means nothing" G#m G# Say the birds, the birds, the birds. (interlude) C#m G#m B C#m No use hiding in the water. G#m B C#m No use hiding in the square. G#m B C#m G#m Know those eyes are looking for you everywhere. C#m G#m Well you'll be glad my love to hear, F#m C#m One morning they did all disappear. C#m G#m Tired of all the summer rain, F#m C#m they made their nest inside my brain. C#m G#m But don't worry darling, pay it no mind F#m C#m true friends like these are hard to find. B C#m Now I no longer hear 'em calling B C#m From my window every morning B C#m And my life, at last means something G#m G# Say the birds, the birds, the birds. (interlude) C#m
