Cage The Songbird chords
The Low Anthem (Live at WFUV)
Capo III
F Csus4 F 2x
Am F F
God cage the songbird
F Am G
Before the feathers run brown
Am F F
God bar the windows
Am G F
That we may though hollow be sound
Am F F
And this island shall be shackled to her waters
Am F G
Here we vow never to change
Am F F
Here we will stand at last for something
Am G F
With no desire to pretend
Am F F
Send up our prayers to gilded idols
Am F G
With their names etched in heartwood of palm
Am F F
And scatter the ashes of the contracts
Am G F
Their freedom so hollow a song
Am F F
God cage the songbird
F Am G
Before the feathers run brown
Am F F
God bar the windows
Am G F
That we may though hollow be sound
Am F F F Am G Am F F Am G F
Am F F
Now the street lamp will be tethered to her station
Am F G
As the poor man is tethered to the flesh
Am F F
As a wise man will be tethered to his wisdom
Am G F
As the mother is tethered to her crèche
Am F F
Was your hunger your awareness of salvation
Am F G
As your chances go slipping to the past
Am F F
Are you tortured by the changing of the seasons?
Am G F
And each grain of sand in the glass
Am F F
God cage the songbird
F Am G
Before the feathers run brown
Am F F
God bar the windows
Am G F
That we may though hollow be sound
Am F F
God cage the songbird
F Am G
Before the feathers run brown
Am F F
God bar the windows
Am G F
That we may though hollow be sound
