Key: G

Verse 1:
G               C
In this autumn town where the leaves can fall
  G           C
On either side of the garden wall
G           C        D
We laugh all night to keep the embers glowin'
G                 C
Some are leapin' free from their moving cars
G                C
Stackin' stones 'round their broken hearts
G         C           D
Waving down any wind that might come blowin'

Verse 2:
G             C
Mice move out when the field is cut
G            C
Serpents curl when the sun comes up
G        C          D
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'
G          C
Some get rain and some get snow
G          C
Some want love and some want gold
G        D        C
I just want to see you in the mornin'

Hook:
G            C
Dogs lay down in the evenin' heat

Fish do worse when they leave the sea
G        C          D
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'

Verse 3:
G                C
In this autumn town where the lights can change
G               C
Some get mercy and some get blame
G             C        D
Some get lost when they feel the river flowin'
G               C
It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast
G              C
We hold our hats while the days fly past
G           C          D
Cold wind comes and we wave but it keeps goin'

Hook 2:
G            C
Fathers, Sons and Holy Ghosts

All come back or they all come close
G        C         D
Songbirds only end up where they're going

Verse 4:
G         C
Some get hard and some go home
G          C
Some want flesh and some want bone

I just want to see you in the mornin'
