capo 3rd fret when the rooks were laid in piles by the sides of the road Em9 crashing into the aerials tangled in the laundry lines D Em9 and gathered in a field they were burned in a feathering pyre D C their cold black eyes B when the swallows fell from the eaves and the gulls from the spires Em9 the starlings in millions would feed on the ground where they lie D Em9 and the ambulance men said "there's nowhere to flee for your life" D C so we stay inside B and we'll sleep until the world of man is paralyzed Am9 B Em9 (Same chords as verse for trumpet solo) Oh the falconer awakes to the sound of the bells Em9 G overhead and southbound Am9 they're leaving his life B and each empty cage just rings Em9 in his heart like a bell G underneath these cold stars Am9 in their trembling light B and he cries "amen, C let their kingdom come tonight, B let this dream be realized." Em9 And end on Gmin
