F A# Two birds sitting on a wire F C Big one makes his move, he spreads his feathers, rubs his beak F A# Boy and girl are leaving school F C He is shy, but she will follow him, she don’t know why Dm G Life - is short Dm G And then - you sleep Chorus: A# Pull down the wall F It’s only masking honesty A# Pull down the wall F It’s breaking up the family A# Pull down the wall, you G Hear the true call, you C Start the day with little things Am C F They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings Look at what is in your heart How could it be wrong? The little man is telling you People gathering in the square They’ve had enough Their leaders they are killing them Life is short, and then you sleep Chorus A# D# When all the banks began to fail A# I thought that we would have a change D# But they found all this cash, we didn’t A# have to patch it up again D# They never think to spend the money on Gm the everlasting broke C D# Or the sick, what a waste Two birds in the promised land One is building walls to keep the other in its place Imprisoned like the special son He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out Life is short, and then you sleep Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Am  C  D#  Dm  F  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
