She sang like a bird, high on a wire
CG
At every chance, soulful as she could
CAmC
And the words she chose were driven with such passion
AmCG
but sadly, I never understood
CG
She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor
CG
had manors of a queen, but grew up poor
AmC
With a broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
GCG
she didn't know her name or mine or yours
C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
CG
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
CG
Many years of memories all compiled
Am
Was cruel to have to watch her grow older
C H
While the rest of her turned back into a child
C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
CG
She sang like a bird down to the wire
CG
My love, I hope she understood
C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
C
Hey, hey, hey
Whoa, whoa, whoa
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
DEm
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
