Bill Callahan - Too Many Birds chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Previous versions of this song posted around here incorrectly assumed that there is the same chord sequence through the song. In fact, a second, different one kicks in at "Oh Black Bird...". The key here is the same as CD version: Eb, while some live versions are in F (or tuned down G), so transpose your chords accordingly. I play it on uke and piano and just use Eb without any changes to the tuning. Use Ab/Bb if Fm7/Bb feels inconvenient, or even Bb7sus4, but the first two will have a fuller sound. Also, you may want to add 7ths to the minors in the second part. :) Cheers! Marko Srebre Too Many Birds - Bill Callahan First part: Eb Fm7 Fm7/Bb Bb7 (repeats) Too many birds in one tree Too many birds in one tree And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves The sky is full of black and screaming [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/bill-callahan/319364.html ] And one more bird Then one more bird And one last bird And another One last black bird without a place to land One last black bird without a place to be Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest Second part: Eb Cm Fm Bb7 (repeats) Oh black bird, over black rain burn This is not where you last knew rest You fly all night to sleep on stone The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds Too many birds Too many birds If If you If you could If you could only If you could only stop If you could only stop your If you could only stop your heart If you could only stop your heart beat If you could only stop your heart beat for If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.  |
