[G#m] [C#m]
[B] [E] I walk [G#m] the road when I [C#m] realize my [B] death [E] The road that [G#m] knows about my [C#] bitty little
[B] past [E] I grab [G#m] one load and put [B] it in my pocket
With your [C#m] birds I [B]
[E] walk [G#m] the road until [C#m] I came close to your [B] house
[E] Your house was [G#m] floating on my [F#] water I
[E] ask [G#m] one tree, one tree to [F#] take me in
To your [C#m] house [B]
There I took [E] all your birds and I smashed
[F#] them in my pocket, [B] oh And then I cut the [F#m] feathers off and I made
[C#m] myself a [G#m] beautiful [E] dress
[G#m] [C#]
[B] [E] In [G#m] your basement was [C#m] a letter to
[B] myself
[E] You wrote [G#m] it when we were [F#] married
[E] I took [G#m] this load and put [F#] it in my mouth
With your [C#m] words And [B] then I took [E] all your words and I ate
[F#] them by the fire, [B] oh And then I tore the [F#m] pages up and I made [C#m] myself
a [G#m] beautiful [E] dress [G#m]
[B]
[E] I spoke [G#m] your words out in [C#m] your garden way
[B] I built [E] my new house near [G#m] your flowers, [B] trees and leaves
I
[E] told [G#m] the trees and bees [B] to fly away With [C#m] your words and [B] your birds
And then I took [E] all your words and I ate [F#] them by the fire, [B] oh
And me and [E] your sloth birds we [F#] danced the whole night [B] long
And in [A] the morning I [C#m] climbed your tree and [G#m] [E] threw away
[G#m] [E]
