[Verse 1]
C C Am C C
Birch tree lost its branch one day in violent winter
C C Am C
I said it was grieving, you said it don't feel nothing
F G C Am
I bet you think everything's in its rightful place
C G C
That sentiment is man's disgrace
[Verse 2]
C C Am C C
Well the rooks in the trees, they don't half bother me
F G G C
Clawing at my mind with every given opportunity
F G C Am C G Am
It's spring outside, a perilous sky and that terrible clattering sound
C G Am
"Go ahead, you should go shoot them down"
Am G F
That's what you said, "you should go shoot them down"
[Verse 3]
G Am
So hey, that's me
C G6
Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery
G Am
Oh, look at me
Fmaj7 G F
The definition of futility
F
That's what they'll say anyway
F
Won't they, babe?
[Verse 4]
C C Am C C C
So I'll go back to working through the gentle hours of the evening
C F Am G C
Where the weather and the wine and the company treat me easily
F G C Am
Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye
F G C
Unknowing am I of the wind
[Outro]
F G C Am
Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye
C G C
Unknowing am I of the wind
