bird by bird

G
Out on powerlines
Cm6
Oily beaks and wings
The ravens caw
the blackbirds claw
G
The black-billed magpies sing

G
We sit in wonder
As they take flight
Cm6
They cover the moon
like black balloons
G
In the inky night

G C
Bird by bird by bird
We’ll get through this hurt
Am G
Bird by bird we will heal

G
All through in the suburbs
Cm6
High among the leaves
The warbler wakes
At the crack of daybreak
G
Giving us no peace
G
Out in the city
Cm6
We take a walk
The pigeons scrounge
As the rain comes down
G
Soaking every block

G C
Bird by bird by bird
We’ll get through this hurt
Am G
Bird by bird we will heal
