[G][D][Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]They say
there's an underground river
That none of us can see
And it flows through winding tunnels
On its [F]way to a tide-less [G]sea
[D]sea

[Verse 2]
[D]And across that sea is an island
A paradise we are told
Where the toils of life are forgotten
And they [F]call it the Is[G]land [D]of Souls

[Verse 3]
For [Bb]only [C]a soul can go [G]there
A [Bb]soul that's been [C]set [D]free
From the [Bb]confines of [C]a working l[G]ife
To [F]find etern[G]ity[D]

[Verse 4]
Your old man [D]had a cage for
[Em]his pigeons[D]
[A]But that's rea[D]lly where
he [Em]kept [D]his soul
And when he watched [Em]them fly[D]
[A]he would [Em]see himself
Least that's how it [D]was told

[Verse 5]
But [Bb]his soul was still [C]trapped
in the [D]cage son
While [Bb]the birds they [G]soared [C]to the sky[Am]
[F]But he couldn't [G]find his own way [D]out
[F]Least not 'til [Dm]the day [G]he [D]died

[Verse 6]
Oh, [D]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
It was [F]him who was [G]trapped
in the [D]soul [Am]cage son
It was [F]him that was trapped
[G]in [D]the soul cage

[Verse 7]
[D][C]
I [D]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,
[Em]it j[D]ust wasn't done
[Dm]It was [F]him who was [G]trapped in the
[D]soul cage [Am]son[D][Am]
It was [F]him that was [G]trapped [D]in the soul cage

[Verse 8]
A [D]man builds a cage
with the tools he is given
His casket is [Dsus4]sealed wi[D]th a[Em]
[D]riveter's gun
The solitary mad[Em]ness [D]is
where he is driven
It was [F]him who was [G]trapped
in the soul [Am]cage son
It was [F]him that was [G]trapped in the soul [D]cage[Dsus4]
[D]
