The birds of St Marks ? Jackson Browne (CD: Solo acoustic Vol. 1) Capo I Intro: |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | C Oh how sad they sound the songs the queen must sing of dying Am F Am/E Dm G A prisoner upon her throne of melancholy sighing Dm Em If she could see her mirror now Dm Em She would be free of those who bow and F Scrape the ground beneath her feet C Silently she walks among her dying midnight roses Am F Am/E Dm G Watches as each moment goes that never really know us Dm Em And so it seems she doesn't care Dm Em If she has dreams of no one there F Within the shadows of her room C Am But all my frozen words agree, and say it's time to Em F Call back, all the birds i sent to G Fly behind her castle walls, and i'm C F Weary of the nights i've seen G C Inside these empty halls Interlude: |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | C Wooden lady turn and turn among my weary secrets Am F Am/E Dm G And wave within the hours past and other empty pockets Dm Em Maybe we've found what we have lost Dm Em When we've unwound so many crossed entangling F Misunderstandings; but C Am But all my frozen words agree, and say it's time to Em F Call back, all the birds i sent to G Fly behind her castle walls, and i'm C F Weary of the nights i've seen G C Inside these empty halls Coda: |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | |C |Am |Fmaj7 |G | Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) ? july 2009 Email gerardkoot@hotmail.com
