[C#m]
[A] [B]
[E] [G#]
[A] [B]
[E] [G#m] [C#m] Oh, [G#]
[C#]
the falcon [C#m]
was a pretty [C#] bird, [A] [B] wandered as [E] she flew.
[G#]
[A] She [B] danced around [C#m] and pranced around [G#] wherever.
[C#] [C#m]
And the falcon was a pretty bird, [A] her voice [B] was [G#] always still.
[A] But [Bm] men with drums [G#] and men [C#] with guns, [G#] they taught her how [C#] to kill.
[C#m]
Her [C#] eye was on the [C#m] sparrow, [A] her [B] mind was on [E] the [G#] dove.
[A] But [C#m] no one cared and [E] no [C#] one dared to [G#] speak to [C#m] her of love.
[C#] Her eyes are always [G#] [C#m] hooded, [A] her [C#] claws are [B]
[C#m] sharp as steel.
[G#]
[A] We teach [B] her not [C#m] to see too much, [G#] we teach her not [C#] to fear.
[C#m]
[A] [B]
[E] [G#]
[A] [B]
[E] [C#m]
[G#]
[C#m]
Go build you a log cabin [Am] on a [Bm] mountain [E] so [G#] high.
[A] And hear [Bm] the
[C#m] feathered warbirds yell [G#] as she goes screaming [C#] by.
[C#m]
She'll tease you, she'll please you, [A] she'll [E] satisfy your [G#]
needs.
[A] But [B] someday she [C#m] might turn around [G#] and mow a head [C#m] of weeds.
Your hours might be numbered, [A] your end [E] might come [G#] someday.
[A] Go break [B] her [C#m] chain and free her brain [G#] and send her [C#] on her way.
[C#m]
And the falcon is a pretty bird, [A] [B] wanders as [C#m] she [G#]
flies.
[A] She [B] asks us [C#m] easy questions, [G#] we tell her easy [C#] lies.
