This is one of my favourite Kate Rusby songs; This isn't the way she plays it - I 
couldn't be bothered to figure that out - but this seems to work just fine!

C            F              G     Am
How can you speak when you don't understand,
C            F             G    C
How can you change what is altered,
C            F             G      Am
How can you help when you won't reprimand,
C            F             G     C
And how can you save what has faltered

Chorus:
    Am            F             C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
    Am           F            C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
    F       C             Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
    F           G        C
And try not to notice at all

C            F                 G     Am
How can you share what you've already spent
C            F             G    C
How can you care for the harmless
C            F            G       Am
How can you take when you have no consent
        C        F              G    C
We will never be charmed by the charmless

Chorus:
    Am            F             C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
    Am           F            C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
    F       C             Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
    F           G        C
And try not to notice at all

C            F           G            Am
How can you talk of the great and the good
     C           F       G    C
When all that we hear is deceiving 
C          F         G         Am
How can we find what you never could
   C            F             G  C
Oh don't let us stop you from leaving

Chorus:
    Am            F             C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
    Am           F            C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
    F       C             Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
    F           G        C
And try not to notice at all

C           F           G           Am
How can you speak of damnation and fire 
     C           F          G   C
When all that we hear is misleading 
   C            F              G         Am
We all know you speak with the tone of a liar
         C        F      G      C
You will never be one we believe in

Chorus:
    Am            F             C G
The beasts on the wing let them fly,
    Am           F            C G
The worlds in a spin let them fly,
    F       C             Am G
And we will watch as they fall,
    F           G        C
And try not to notice at all
