Speckled Bird



capo 2nd



intro: Em C Em C Em C D   2X





Verse:

EM            C          Em         C            Em

You blow the candle out, you take a shovel to my head

          C            D

Hey I appreciate that sound

Em           C          Em          C                Em

A true tone resonating, so now I'm less alive than dead

          C             D 

And maybe I won't hang around   tonight



Chorus       G       C     F       Em

        Cause I'm already dying, already flying

      F               Em               D

        Seems like I'm flying toward the sun

               G        C     F       Em

        Yes I'm already dying, already flying

        F               Em               D

        In my dreams I'm flying toward the sun  



Verse 2:

Em          C                 Em       C           Em  

I'm flying through the heavens a tabernacle to my soul

             C             D

You know I'd take you if I could

Em          C               Em           C             Em

No I can't save your sorry soul I only want to be the one 

              C                  D

To kiss your spirit from face to foot



Chorus



Verse 3

Em           C      Em          C            Em     

You put the fire out you take a shovel to my head

        C             D 

hey I appreciate that sound

Em           C        Em          C               Em  

A true tone resonating so now I'm less alive than dead

         C                    D

Speckled birds of prey coming down





Chorus 2X



Outro:  Em C Em C Em C D



The fills between the verses are the same Em-C-D combinations.  This is a really easy song.
