     There's a story I'd like you 
   Dm
to listen to

   Em         Gm                Bm
     About a lady and a broken bird

   Am               Dm
     Broken by the hammer

   Em            Gm               
     You took it so hard, you 
           D
hardly said a word

      Bm                       C(add
 D)
     Sending them back over the 
lines

Continues after the ad
       Bm                         
     Whistling down the wire from 
Cmaj7
pole to pole

      Bm                  C(add D)
     Bending them over the times

      Bm                        
     Trying to burn the diamonds 
          Cmaj7
from the holy coal

     Trying to burn the diamonds 
          Cmaj7
from the holy coal

   Am                    Dm  
     Telling this story slowly 
    Em  Gm
together

                     Bm
     Reading in the dark

          Am               Dm     
     The bird that you saw dying, 
Em      Gm
we saw flying
