Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Filthy Bird Laying in our yard
Four chambered heart never beat so hard
Dad said she was almost gone
Upside down out on our lawn
And I could hold her in a shoe box
if she heals she could be mine
and if I can not save her spirit
Dad says I should break her spine
Shaking brilliant, silver black wings
Jesus Christ what prayers these dare sing
:CHORUS:
Wear your hearts out on your sleeves for
starlings, starlings
All the least of all of these are
Starlings, starlings
Two years pass I pump the chamber
full of air to shoot the birds
harmless game to hit them slightly
Scare them off in other words
Starling, falling to her death
Piercing copper steals her breath
See the flower in her breast
starving babies in her nest
Raise our souls up to the sky
Why must helpless creatures die
(Chorus)
:BRIDGE:
Every breath, has sacred weight
Every life has some design
Yet we kill and possess faith
Speak of life, while digging graves
Raise our souls up to the sky
Why must helpless creatures die
(Chorus X2)
