Three Birds In Babylon

Em          A
Deep in the heart of stone
    Am                 B
The walls are cold and scarred
                          Em
Where the phantom, shadow figures 
are
            A                   Am
Down by the gates, there sang a 
     B
lark
Em               A
She comes at the break of dawn
    Am               B
The rays fall on her dress
You know, she used to be a 
Em
silhouette
            A               Am    
Deep in the heart of stone
    B



[Pre-Chorus 1]
   Am
And everyday, she comes to say
                      B
"Look up, look at the dawn"
     Am
Yes, I escaped the shadows once
                  B
I listened to His Son


[Chorus 1]
     Em
They say
     A       Am
Look how she goes
B                Em
She gave herself away
    A          Am
Her crown, her throne
       B
Like a fool, like a renegade
    Em                       A
Now wasting her days and her better 
youth
   Am                          B
On tricks and charades, but we see 
right through
Em   A       Am     B
Look how she goes

[Verse 2]
Em          A
Deep in the heart of stone
   Am                B
No fire, no flame, no spark
                Em
Can overtake or tame the dark
    A                    Am
Of freedom, they're very fond
            B                    Em
Sing along, three cheers for Babylon
                A
She goes at the break of dawn
        Am              B
In that same sun-golden dress
You know, she's waiting for the 
Em
silhouette
     A                Am        B
Then sang the nightingale


[Pre-Chorus 2]
    Am
And everyday, she comes to say
                      B
"Look up, look at the dawn
     Am
Yes, I escaped the darkness once
                 B
I heard and sang along

But no one sang along"


[Chorus 2]
     Em
They say
     A       Am
Look how she goes
B                      Em
She gave herself away
  A      Am
A desert rose
       B
What a delusional run-away
    Em                       A
Got stars in her hair, walks on the 
moon
       Am                       B
It's a moonlight mirage, but we see 
right through
Em   A       Am        B
Look how she goes


[Bridge]
    Em          A        Am
And down by the gates, a dove
              B
Sang with the girl
    Am                B
And suddenly the song heard the 
morning call
     Em              A        Am
They held with their eyes the dawn
                     B
And three cheers for Babylon
Am                      B
Sounded strange as they turned to 
say


[Chorus 3]
Em   A       Am
Look how she goes
B                      Em
She gave herself away
   A        Am
No heart of stone
      B
We've been fools, we've been 
renegades
    Em                        A
Now wasting our days, and the better
 youth
         Am                        
On these tricks and charades, now 
  B
we see right through
Em   A       Am    B
Look how she goes (she gave herself 
away)
Em   A       Am    B
Look how she goes
Em   A       Am
Look how she goes
