Em C Birch tree lost its branch one day in violent winter Em C I said it was grieving, you said it don't feel nothing Am G C F I bet you think everything's in its rightful place Am G C That sentiment is man's disgrace Well the rooks in the trees, they don't half bother me Clawing at my mind with every given opportunity It's spring outside, a perilous sky and that terrible clattering sound "Go ahead, you should go shoot them down" That's what you said, "You should go shoot them down" G Am So hey, that's me C G/B Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery G Oh, look at me Am G F The definition of futility F That's what they'll say anyway F Won't they, babe? So I'll go back to working through the gentle hours of the evening Where the weather and the wine and the company treat me easily Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye Unknowing am I of the wind Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye Unknowing am I of the wind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
