More Yellow Birds

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

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

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

D        G         Cmaj7
Will my pony recognise my voice in 
hell?
D        G                  
Will he still be blind, or do they 
Cmaj7
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               
With hints of amber sundowns and 
    Cmaj7
moody thunderstorms
   G                            
A sunken barge's horns, with the 
  Cmaj7                 D
cold rusty bells
