G5 G5 G5 2x

E5  G5        C5
God cage the songbird
  G5        E5           D5
Before the feathers run brown
E5  G5       C5
God bar the windows
     E5            D5         G5
That we may though hollow be sound

         E5              C5               G5
And this island shall be shackled to her waters
E5          C5        D5
Here we vow never to change
E5           C5                 G5
Here we will stand at last for something
     E5   D5          G5
With no desire to pretend

E5          C5                 G5
Send up our prayers to gilded idols
           E5              C5            D5
With their names etched in heartwood of palm
    E5          C5            G5
And scatter the ashes of the contracts
      E5         D5        G5
Their freedom so hollow a song

E5  G5        C5
God cage the songbird
  G5        E5           D5
Before the feathers run brown
E5  G5       C5
God bar the windows
     E5            D5         G5
That we may though hollow be sound

E5 G5 C5  G5 E5 D5  E5 G5 C5  E5 D5 G5

        E5                  C5               G5
Now the street lamp will be tethered to her station
       E5          C5               D5
As the poor man is tethered to the flesh
     E5               C5               G5
As a wise man will be tethered to his wisdom
       E5        D5               G5
As the mother is tethered to her cr?che

         E5          C5               G5
Was your hunger your awareness of salvation
        E5         C5               D5
As your chances go slipping to the past
        E5              C5               G5
Are you tortured by the changing of the seasons?
    E5            D5           G5
And each grain of sand in the glass

E5  G5        C5
God cage the songbird
  G5        E5           D5
Before the feathers run brown
E5  G5       C5
God bar the windows
     E5            D5         G5
That we may though hollow be sound

E5  G5        C5
God cage the songbird
  G5        E5           D5
Before the feathers run brown
E5  G5       C5
God bar the windows
     E5            D5         G5
That we may though hollow be sound
