The Secret Language Of Birds: (transcribed by Paul Forrest of the Dayglo Pirates UK Jethro Tull tribute band)
Capo 1st fret
D C/D C G A x2
Bm11/A Asus2 A G A
This sparkling wine is all but empty.
C G A
Too late for trains and no taxis.
Bm11/A Asus2 A G A
I know the feeling. Seems all too contrived.
C G D
There was no master plan, but the fact is:
D C/D C G A
you must stay with me and learn the secret language of birds.
(same as above)
A tentative dawn about to be breaking
on a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding.
The truth of the matter, yet to be spoken
in words on which everything, everything\'s riding.
Now stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
E D A E
Circled by swallows
E D A E
in a world for the weary.
F#m D A G
Courted by warblers; wicked and eloquent trilling.
(repeat intro. verse chords as above)
Lie in the stillness, window cracked open.
Extended moments, hours for the taking.
Careless hair on the pillow, a bold brushstroke.
Painted first with a chorus, a chorus in waiting.
Stay with me and learn the secret language of birds.
