Bird Song Tab par Florence And The Machine

(Accapella)

Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by.
Saw what I'd done. He set up a nest out side,
and he sang about what I'd become.

      F                     C
He sang so loud, sang so clear.
E                             Am
I was afraid all the neighbors would hear,
       F                                 C
So I invited him in, just to reason with him.
   E                               Am
I promised I wouldn't do it again.

                    F     
But he sang louder and louder inside the house,
         C
And no I couldn't get him out.
       E
So I trapped him under a cardboard box.
       Am
and stood on it to make him stop.
    F
I picked up the bird and above the din I said
  C
"That's the last song you'll ever sing".
F
Held him down, broke his neck,
C
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget.

E Am

       F        C         E           Am
But in my dreams began to creep
       E     C           Am                     C
that old familiar tweet tweet tweet

E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout,
    Am
I waved my arms and flapped about.
         E
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout,
 Am
couldn't scream and I couldn't shout.

F       
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
waved my arms and flapped about
         E
But I couldn't scream I couldn't shout,
         Am                                       F         C
The song was coming from my mouth.
       E         Am
From my mouth,
       F           C
From my mouth,
       E      Am
From my mouth.

 E         Am
From my mouth,
 F           C
From my mouth,
       E      Am
From my mouth.

 E         Am
From my mouth,
 F           C
From my mouth,
 E      Am
From my mouth.
