Requiem Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l, [C]I saw a bird to[Am]day[D][G][D]
Flying from [Em]a bush[C]
And the wind blew [D]it [G]away.[D][G][D]
And the [G]black-eyed [Bm]mother
[E]mother sun[A]
[E]Scorched the butterfly [F#m]at play
Vel[A]vet [D]veined. [Bm]I saw i[E]t bu[C]rn.
With a wintry [Am]storm-blown sigh,
[G]sigh,[F]
A silver [G]cloud blew right [C]on by.
And, taking in [G]the morning,
[Em]I sang[D][Dsus4][D]
[G]O Requiem.
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[C]
Well, my lady [Am]told [D]me, "St[G]ay."
I looked [D]aside and [Em]walked [C]away
[Am]Along [D]the[G] strand.[D]
But I [Bm]didn't say [E]a w[A]ord,
As the [E]train time-table blurred
[F#m]blurred
Close [D]behind [Bm]the taxi stan[E]d.
[C]Saw her face in the tear-drop
[Am]black black cab window.[G]
[F]Fading into the[G]
traffic; watched her [C]go.
And taking in [G]the morn[Em]ing,
Heard my[C]self [D]singing[G][D]
O [G]Requiem.
Here I [Bm]go ag[Em]ain.
It's the same [C]old story.

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
Well, [Am]I saw [D]a bird [G]today
I looked [D]aside [Em]and walked [C]away
Along [D]the Strand.
