There's a pine warbler sitting on a hollow limb 
    Em                              F
he seems to have the whole morning out right in front of him 
      C                            Am7
and everything he sings from the branch that he's sitting on 
  Fmaj7                           F
seems to hush the leaves and the colors all around 
          C                 G
First he sings and then he goes. 
          C                 G
and what it means? It's hard to know.

C                     Am7
Baby works down right off of Barbur Blvd 
 Em                         F
Writes down everything on the back of a business card
 C                         Am7 
everything she writes will turn into a song or two 
    Fmaj7               F
she puts it on the stage and all goes still 
             C              G
now if she sings a forest clear 
             C               G
she puts a tree right in your ear.
 
F                 C
Now why can't you stay with me? 
F                                 C         E7     F
Why don't you tell me it cause it makes a fool of me 
      F           C
Well Eden was a garden you know 
    D                                 D 
the birds were in the trees until the place was gone 
        D                                 D
they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on

C                          Am7
Just the other night the clocks were moving awful slow 
  Em                             F
I heard a woman's voice coming up from the street below 
  C                        Am7
I got up from my bed that song was so enrapturing 
   F                            F
and found my real to reel just to see if I could capture - 
{drum builds} 
        C               G                  C
by the time i turned it on, and turned an ear 
                 G
that voice was gone.

F                  C
Now why can't it stay with me? 
F                              C       E7      F
Why don't you say it cause it makes a fool of me 
      F           C
Well Eden was a garden you know 
      D                                D
the birds were in the trees until the place was gone 
          D                                D
they scattered to the wind and then they just kept moving on
