Blood Red Bird

F#m       G#m          C#m
I was not woken by the rooster
F#m        G#m           C#m
Nor by the crows's tough song
F#m               G#m      C#m
But  the midnight cry of a blood red bird
F#m     G#m               C#m
Brought this sleeplessness on
F#m            G#m    C#m
Threw open the window moonlight on a black garden of thorns
F#m          G#m       C#m
And the cool wind on my sweat
F#m             G#m         C#m
What cries home where cries from
F#m         G#m              C#m
A blood red bird lies in the woods
F#m          G#m          C#m
Weeping into dead leaves
F#m           G#m          C#m
With wing torn and jutting bone
F#m            G#m              C#m
What hand bent it to bust to be useless
F#m            G#m               C#m
What hand that could've with two fingers

[Chorus]
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird

[Verse 2]
F#m        G#m                    C#m
We can continually sink into each other
F#m       G#m                          C#m
Just deep enough to rip out a bit more flesh when we move away
F#m        G#m           C#m
A scarf of skin trailing out behind
F#m     G#m                      C#m
Like an arrow I was only passing through

[Chorus]
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird
F#m         G#m               C#m
A blood red bird, a blood red bird
