[F#m]
Well, some [Bm] call me [F#m] hunger's child, [Bm]
some have turned [F#m] away
Well, some sit while [Bm] in a few [F#m] sit free, [Bm]
some have refused [F#m] to say
Oh, [D] do you think [Bm] that you know [F#m] my name?
Well, the [F#] songbirds
[F#m] [Bm] somehow [F#m] sweetly sing, [Bm] the sun somehow [F#m] she shines
And the fireflies [Bm] cut the [F#m] cold black wind [D] [Bm] to paint their [F#m] strange design
And [D]
the wind, [Bm] she sings [F#m] my name
Take your armies, [Bm] take them from my [F#m] door
[Bm] Your battle's [F#m] built on doom
All your [F#] standards,
[F#m] [Bm] all lies shattered [F#m] now
[Bm] Deep the portals of [F#m] my room, [D] and the walls, [Bm] they sing [F#m] my name
Well, some [Bm] call me [F#m] hunger's child, [D] [Bm] some have [F#m] turned away
Well, some sit while [Bm] in a few [F#m] sit free, [D] some [G] have refused [F#m] to say
