C G C Am Em

C
will the wind that scatters dust
   G
Reveal its secrets speak to us
    C     Am     Em
of many things
C
In the morning when she comes
     G
The bird who wakes you with her song
        C        Am
she'll beat her wings
Em        C     Am
she will rise again
     C              G
and ride a perfect high
     C                  G
and find a sweet seed growing
     C     Em    Am         C     G   C  G
and never know why she sees anything


C
One more inch for no more reason
 G
Go without you even yet
     C         Am    Em
And death you sing
 C
Pass it by with once discovered
 G
time to stop wasting time
      C         Am    
what will you bring?
Em        C     Am
you will rise again
     C              G
and ride a perfect high
     C                  G
and find a sweet seed growing
     C     Em    Am         C     G   C  G
and never know why you hear anything

Am  F
Am
bless the sunlight
  F
Grab the stakes and make you over
 Am
Save the bullet price
               F
the sandman's head
This time do not roll over
 C                 G
beat your wings
      C
Yeah hear I sing
G                 C                Am
Up there in the glimpse of silence up there

-solo-

  C
When the days have come to pass
     G
Our journey broken gone at last
      C        Am     Em
Well beat our wings
  C
Shadows take familiar skin
     G
So recognize them don't give in
      C        Am
Well beat our wings

 Em      C     Am
we will rise again
     C              G
and ride a perfect high
     C                  G
and find a sweet seed growing
     C     Em    Am         C     G   C  G
and never know why we feel anything

Yeah anything

Yeah beat your wings x9 (to the end)
