Shrike chords by Hozier

INTRO:  C Dm C Dm C

VERSE 1:
C                 Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
C                      Dm
And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
 Dm            F       C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now


CHORUS:
Am    G
Bites on above
   C      F
But never would form
    Am      G   C      Am
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
       G     C   F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
     Am       Gsus4        C Dm
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm Am G C

VERSE 2:
C                  Dm
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
Dm            F        C
All of that goodness is going with you now
C                  Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
Dm           F       C
All of my goodness is going with you now


CHORUS:
 Am   G   C       F
Driving along, fall on your thorn
Am       G       C      Am
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Am       G    C    F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
      Am      Gsus4       C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

INSTRUMENTAL:
C Dm G C
C Dm Am G C

VERSE 3:
C                  Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Dm             F      C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
C                    Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Dm             F      C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

CHORUS:
     Am       G
I was hatched by your warmth
C     F
Thus transformed
      Am      G     C    Am
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Am       G    C    F
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
      Am      Gsus4       C
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
