      Em           F#7
I'll set my broken bone
        B7
With a twist and a crack
Em                F#7
Now your cover's blown
     B7            G      F#7
You buried me, but I came back
Em                  F#7
You've stolen my tomorrow
      B7            G
So I come for it today
     Em                 G      F#    Em
You stole it when you stole my yesterday

Chorus:
G           C
Here in my heart
Em         Am
I hear you far away
C            F#
Deep in the dark
Em         A
My little bird of prey
C           F#
I have your mark

Em
Well, I'm flying through the rag
F#          B             A
Crack the whip from my calèche
Em                  F#
I have the horse's speed
B                  G       Em
And if I need the horse's flesh
F#            Em
Fire for the tallow
        B                  Am
But I still can't find the way
      Em                G      F#     Em
You stole it when you stole my yesterday

Chorus:
Here in my heart
I hear you far away
Deep in the dark
My little bird of prey
I have your mark
I hear you far away
Deep in my heart
My little bird of prey
I have your mark

Little birdie
Little birdie
Little birdie
Little birdie
