Cuckoo Song

                C          G
I won’t be your cuckoo, my love
      Em           C
Nor a thief on the wing
  C              G
A shameful regret
     Em           D
Or a promise on a string
           C               G
And I will follow your heart
   Am     Em
Until you let me in
                   C       G
I’ll never be your cuckoo, my love
             D                  C
I won’t be a lesson learned in spring

           C          G
Don’t be a cuckoo, my love
       Em           C
If you ever want to know
    C                G
The beat of your heart
       Em               D
Or the depth of your soul
            C           G
And I will colour my life
          Am                  Em
With the courage that you’ve shown me
                C     G
To never be a cuckoo, my love
            D                                C  G  Em  C
Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the sno-o-o-ow

G (extended)                  D
        The river you didn’t cross
D                        Em
        Grows deeper every day
Em                            C
        And for the rest of my life
C                                     G
        Are you the one that got away?
G                       D
        ‘Fore we grow old
D                                             Em
        Will you show me the depths of your soul?
Em                            C
        Though we clip your wings
C                                                               C  G  Em  C
        Well I will build a home with the courage that you have sho-o-o-own

C, G, Em, D

C, G, D

    C                    G
So put down your bow and arrow
       Em             C
‘Cause time is on our side
           C            G
And I will be here in the morning
              Em           C
If there are fireworks tonight
              C             G
Is this the calm before the storm?
       Am             Em
The design is in your eyes
                 C      G
I’ll never be a cuckoo, my love
            D                                    C    G
Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the snow
           D                                                 C    G
And I will build a home with the courage that you have shown
           D                                     C    G
And I will take this wish and bury it in the snow

       D
If you cross this river
                    G
I’m yours and yours alone
