The Birds Of St Marks Tab

by Jackson Browne


Oh how sad they sound the songs

The queen must sing of dying
  
A prisoner upon her throne
             
Of meloncoly sighing
                           
If she could see her mirror now
                              
She would be free of those who bow
                                  
And scrape the ground benneth her feet

Silently she walks among her

Dying midnight roses

Watches as each moment goes
                  
That never really know us
          
And if it seems
             
She doesn't care
                           
If she has dreams of no one there
                          
Within the shadows of her room
                  
But all my frozen words agree and say it's time to
                 
Call back all the birds I sent to fly behind her
                                  
Castle walls, and I'm weary of the nights I've seen
                  
Inside these empty halls

-----For break play chords-D then D without F# then with G (first string 3rd fret) then 
chord again---------Play this twice

Wooden lady turn and turn

Among my weary secrets
                                              
And way within the hours past and other empty pockets
                               
Maybe we've found what we have lost
                           
When we've unwound so many crossed
                  
Intangling misunderstanding
                 
But all my frozen words agree and say it's time to
                 
Call back all the birds I've sent to fly behind her
                                  
Castle walls, and I'm weary of the nights I've seen
             
Inside these empty walls
