Grace - The Choir 

Speckled Bird 



Em              D

Screamin' at the newsman,

A

Tellin' him to take it back.

C                   G

I'll sue him if he won't retract.

Em             D

Cryin' to the hangman,

A/C#            A

Beggin' him to render slack.

C             G               Gsus4  G

If I could I would go back.



          Gsus4     G

Will you extend me,

          Gsus4  G   D

Will you extend me grace.

        C

Just a little grace.

          Gsus4     G

Will you extend me,

          Gsus4  G   D

Will you extend me grace.

        C

Just a little grace.





Were you talkin' to the shrubbery

Did you cut the roses down

Someone oughta till that ground

You thought I had a pure heart, well

I thought you were an angel, girl

Mercy is the silver pearl





Will you extend me

Will you extend me grace

Just a little grace...



A          D

My mother deems me ever dear

A           D

I'm less a liar than sincere





When you cut me in the alley-way

You don't have to turn that knife

I'll suffer in the after life

Prayin' to the Father

Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost

C                 G              *

You're the one I love the most



repeat chorus
