SHEARWATER - Rooks (2008) (Original tuning, but a bit easier in A-minor.) Intro : Gm - F7 - Gm - F7 - Eb - D7 Gm when the rooks were laid in piles by the sides of the road F7 crashing into the aerials Gm tangled in the laundery line F7 and gathered in a field Bb - F/A - Eb they were burned in a feathering pyre D7 with a cold black eye Gm when the swallows fell from the eaves and the gulls from the spires F7 and starlings in the millions Gm will feed on the ground where they lie [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/shearwater/206814.html ] F7 the ambulance men said there's Bb - F/A - Eb nowhere to flee for your life D7 so we stayed inside Cm and we'll sleep until D Gm the world of man is paralyzed Gm - F7 - Gm - F7 - Eb - D Gm Oh the falconer awakes Bb to the sound of the bells Cm overhead and southbound D7 they are leaving his life Gm and each empty cage just rings Bb in his heart like a bell Cm underneath these cold stars D and his trembling night Eb and he cries of man Cm D "let the kingdom come tonight Gm let this dream be realized"  |
