Chords for Waxwing

_ _ _ Waxwing, waxwing, [F] what do you [Eb] bring from the [Bb] frozen _ [F] north?
_ _ Waxwing, _ [Eb] waxwing, we've been waiting on you.
_ [F] _
_ _ _ _ I bring the amber [F] that I have [Bb] gathered on the northern _ _ _ _ [F]
seashore
[Bb] For the hatchlings I have parted for thee.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've been round the ground where [F] wyverns are bound
[Eb] And where [Gm] gold and jewels [F] _ abound
These are [Cm] hoarded under my very [Gm] brown wing. _

[C] _ _ Tether [G] the breezes [F] so cruel
And keep my young [Cm] well-feathered and their [Gm] bellies full.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _

can [Bb] do nothing [Eb] but fly [F] in the wake of [Gm] my king.

me [Bb] sing
_ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ [F] And still I will give to you all the _ things I [Bb] bring. _
