Tabbed by ThereWasADream

This is my first chording/tab. This may look funky, but only because I experimented with
weird chords and found a sound that fit, and then used a chord search engine to find
the names of the chords I "made". I expect lots of criticism, which is welcome. Feel 
free to improve on this.

D: (xx0232)
Dsus2: (xx0230)
Em7no5: (xx2030)
A: (x02220)
Aadd4: (x00220)
G/A: (xx00203)
A7: (x02020)
A7Sus4: (x02030)
Em11no5/A: (x02032)
Em: (022000)

(Strum chords once, to imitate piano)

D (xx0232@1)               Dsus2The (xx0230@1)birds they sang, at break of day.
       Em7no5              Dsus2"Start (xx0230@1)again", I hear them say.
        A (x02220@1)          Aadd4 DIt's (xx0232@1)so hard to just walk away.
               D (xx0232@1)         Dsus2The (xx0230@1)birds they sang, all a choir,
       Em7no5         Dsus2"Start (xx0230@1)again a little higher".
       A (x02220@1)        Aadd4  DIt's (xx0232@1)a spark in a sea of gray.

D (xx0232@1)    G/AThe (320203@1)sky is blue,
             D (xx0232@1)           G/ADreamed (320203@1)that lie 'til it's true,
     A (x02220@1)    A7 (x02020@1)     A (x02220@1)     A7Sus4
Then takin' back the punch I threw,
   D (xx0232@1)       G/AMy (320203@1)arms turn wings,
          D (xx0232@1)    G/AOh, (320203@1)those clumsy things
        A (x02220@1)        A7 (x02020@1)      DSend (xx0232@1)me up to that wonderful world
    Dsus2 (xx0230@1)     A7Sus4   DAnd (xx0232@1)then I'm up with the birds.

(Now with feeling, listen to the song for strum pattern)
