More Yellow Birds

C        G             D             C
Is your jewellery still lost in the sand
            G    D                      C
Out on the coast,  or rushed into the brine?
               G    D         C
You left your rings   on the shoreline
                 G       D                  C
So you wouldn't lose them  swimming in the shallows

D             G                   Cmaj7
   A plastic shovel, soft sweaty children far from home
D        G           Cmaj7
   On vacation not unlike your very own

And the captain howdy lit  upon my shoulder
                     G      D                    C
And he left me with sulphur   and rooms full of headaches
                G     D                             C
I fell in with snakes   in the poisoned ranks of strangers
                G           D                   C
Please send me more yellow birds for the dim interior

D        G         Cmaj7
Will my pony recognise my voice in hell?
D        G                  Cmaj7
Will he still be blind, or do they go by smell?
D          G             Cmaj7
Will you promise not to rest me out at sea
D         G           Cmaj7
But on a fiery river boat that's rickety?

D           G           Cmaj7
I'll never find my pony along the rolling swell
D        G          Cmaj7
A muddy river or a lake would do me well
D             G                   Cmaj7
With hints of amber sundowns and moody thunderstorms
   G                              Cmaj7                 D
A sunken barge's horns, with the cold rusty bells
