[Verse 1]
[D]Officer, of [A]ficer,
[D]what are you stop[A]ping for?
[D]I'm only [A]on my way [Em]home.
Sea[D]sons change, [A]ties unbind,
[D]I've left these [A]things behind,
[D]I'm only [A]on my way home.
[Em]Street [D]corner, col[A]our blind,
[D]stopped way [A]across the line
[D]I'm only [A]on my way [Em]home
[A]Home, hom[Em]e
Meet me there inside the room
Solitary hours don't pass the time
I bought a sanatorium
Beating fists against
[A]a plexiglass[C][Em]
Of[D]ficer, [A]officer, [D]I'm not an [A]animal
[D]My mother speak[A]s
with her [Em]tongue
She [D]was [A]to come for me,
wait[D]ing impa[A]tiently
[D]I'm supposed [A]to go home
[Em]Left[D] on the othe[A]r side, came[D]ra's alibi[A],
[D]I'll never [A]walk those steps home,
[Em]home[A] again[Em].
Meet me there inside the room,
solitary hours don't pass the time.
I bought a sanatorium,
beating fists against the plexiglass
[A][C#dim][C][Em]
See the little [A]birch in the [Em]meadow.
See the leaves are [A]dancing
when the [Em]wind blows.
[F#m]Lully,[A] lull, when t[Em]he wind blows.
[F#m]Lully, lull, [A]when t[Em]he wind blows.
From a little [A]tree take [Em]three branches
Make three silver flutes
[A]from silver bra[Em]nches[F#m][A]
[Em][B][Em][F#m][A][B][Em]
From one branch I'll [A]carve a baller [Em]like
With my flutes I'll [A]play my baller
[Em]like[F#m][A][Em][F#m][A]
[Em]
As I play my [A]tingling [Em]balalaika,
I'll remember [A]you, my little [Em]birch tree.
[F#m]Lully, [A]lul[Em]ly, birch tree
[F#m]Lully, [A]lully, lit[Em]tle birch tree
Ah -ah -ah [A]-ah [Em]-ah -ah
Ah -ah -ah [A]-ah -ah [Em]-ah
[A]Lully, [Em]lully, birch tree
[F#m]Lully, [A]lully,
little [Em]birch [A]tree[Em][A]
You
