Feathers And Bones

C                    G
She sang like a bird, high on a wire
C                    G
At every chance, soulful as she 
could
C                 Am              
And the words she chose were driven 
C
with such passion
Am      C                G
but sadly, I never understood

C                    G
She sang of God, but cursed like a 
sailor
C                    G
had manors of a queen, but grew up 
poor
Am                                
With a broken mind she'd stare 
      C
with no reaction
G                   C            
she didn't know her name or mine 
     G
or yours

C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
D                                 
that's all that's left are 
      Em
feathers and bones

C                     G
Many years can bring you all the 
wisdom
C                     G
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                       G
She sang like a bird down to the 
wire
C                     G
My love, I hope she understood
