[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][Em]
[D][C][D]
[B]

[Verse 1]
When the [Em]rook
s were laid in the piles
By the sides of the road
[D]Crashing into the aerials
Tangled in the laundry lines
[Em]

[Verse 2]
And [D]gathered in a field
They were burned in
a feathering [G]pyr[D] e[G]
[C]With their cold bla[D]ck eye[B]s

[Verse 3]
When the swal[Em]lows fell from
the eaves
And the gulls from the spires
[D]The starlings, in millions
Would feed on the ground
where they lie
[Em]

[Verse 4]
The am[D]bulance men said
There's nowhere to flee for your [G]life[C]
So [D]we stay [B]inside
And we'll [Am]sleep until the world
[A]of man[B] is paralyzed
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[D][Am][Em][G]
[D][C]
[B]

[Verse 5]
Oh, [Em]the fal
coner awakes to the sound of the bells
[G]Overhead and southbou[Am]nd
They are leaving his [B]life
And each [Em]empty cage just rings in
his heart like [G]a bell

[Verse 6]
[G]
Underneath these cold [Am]stars
In this trembling [B]light, and he cries
[C]Amen, let their kingdom come tonig[B]ht

[Outro 1]
Let this dream be realized
[B][E][Em]
