Chords for Birds Flying Away - Streetlight Manifesto

[E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ I left [A] my country [E] when I was 19, [Am] _ _
[A] _ [E] 1925.
_ _ _ [A] Drifted to a town [E] on the Cuban coast, I [Am] met a woman who became [E] my love.
[Am] _ _
Know [E] when I saw her, [Am] _
the darkness [E] fled from me.
_ [Am] Flew like a [E] blackbird into the sun [Am] on the day she [E] married me, [Am] dear God. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[F] Hey Lord, give me forgiveness for [E] all that I [Em] have [Am] done.
Forgive me now of the way I've been, don't keep me on the [E] run, [Am] dear God, [E] _ [Am] dear _ [E] God.
[Am] I remember [E] climbing up [A] those _ [Am] shoulders, coming up [E] onto you [Am] like a _ [E] lion.
[Am] Coming [E] down like [A] we were dying, dear [Am] [E] God.
