Version 1
            [Verse 1]

E5         F5        G5        A5     B5      C
Birch tree lost its branch one day in violent winter
E5     F5       G5       A5      B5 C
I said it was grieving, you said it don't feel nothing
  Am        G         C                      F
I bet you think everything's in its rightful place
     Am            G         C
That sentiment is man's disgrace


[Verse 2]

          E5    F5      G5          A5        B5     C
Well, the rooks in the trees, they don't half bother me
  E5    F5     G5        A5    B5        C
Clawing at my mind with every given opportunity
        Am      G       C        F             Am       G        C
It's spring outside, a perilous sky and that terrible clattering sound
       Am              G           F
"Go ahead, you should go shoot them down"
            Am                    G            F
That's what you said, "you should go shoot them down"


[Verse 3]

    G          Am
So hey, that's me
C                              Cmaj7sus2/B
Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery
     G
Oh, look at me
     Am        G     F
The definition of futility
F
That's what they'll say anyway
F
Won't they, babe?


[Verse 4]

   E5      F5      G5    A5            Cmaj7sus2/B        C
So I'll go back to working through the gentle hours of the evening
           E5      F5      G5  A5      Cmaj7sus2/B        C
Where the weather and the wine and the company treat me easily
Am           G         C                F
Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye
Am           G         C
Unknowing am I of the wind


[Outro]

Am           G         C                F
Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye
Am           G         C
Unknowing am I of the wind
