Lily And Parrots

Bb

[Verse 1]
Bb             F                  
Here she comes breakin' through my
 Bb
 window
       Ab    Eb      F
In the early mornin' hours
Bb             F        Bb
 For the moment I am disrupted
       Ab          Eb      F
But in time she'll make me smile

[Refrain]
Eb                Bb
 All the wondrous animals
Eb                  Bb
Roamin' 'round the earth
Eb                 Bb
Bring us songs of calm
           F                 Gm    
They do no wrong, they do no wrong
Am


[Verse 2]
Bb             F        Eb     
You don't know just how much I miss 
Bb
you
         Ab                   
Yeah, my stomach aches in your 
 Eb F
absence
Bb            F        Eb     
 I don't know what I'd do without 
Bb
you
Continues after the ad
           Ab             Eb F
'Cause I'd have no one to follow

[Refrain]
Eb          Bb
 You are my love
Eb         Bb   Ebmaj7
I hold you above
Eb             Bb      Eb
Everything and everyone
           F        Gm  Am
Yeah, everyone, everyone

[Verse 3]
Bb            F                
Hear outside, all the kids are 
Bb
playin'
           Ab                Eb F
They're my wake-up call each day
Bb                  F            
Look at them, their little lives 
Bb
beginnin'
       Ab                Eb F
I have watched them over years

[Refrain]
Eb                   Bb Ebmaj7
 Bloomin' like sweet roses
Eb               Bb Ebmaj7
Dryin' their wet noses
Eb                Bb Ebmaj7
No thought of the cold
Eb            F           Gm  Am
 Yeah, I feel old, I feel old

[Verse 4]
Bb           F       Eb     Bb
Yesterday we found a hidden passage
      Ab        Eb     F
And I opened my sleepy eyes
Bb                F       Eb     
Through the trees parrots swept 
  Bb
up past us
        Ab                    Eb F
And the gardens there smelled good

[Refrain]
Eb              Bb    Ebmaj7
 All the pretty houses
Eb           Bb     Ebmaj7
Decoratively colored
  Eb              Bb
Tonight I want no other
        F            Gm  Am Bb
Than my own, than my own
