[intro]

Am   Am7 Am     Am7  Am

[verse]

Am           Am7 Am                 Am7  Am
I go out back      to look up at her
Am               Am7 Am             Am7  Am
Smiling unluckily      at my red fur
Am             Am7 Am              Am7  Am
And into my own      I meld my nose
Am                 Am7 Am                  Am7  Am
My full-sized child      is fully unclothed

[chorus]

Am            Cadd9            Am            G
Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know
Am    Cadd9            Am              G
In my hidden life I’ve made a seedling grow

[verse]

Am              Am7 Am                 Am7  Am
When it is cold       I shelter her in
Am               Am7 Am                  Am7  Am
The wazimy warmth      of the monkey skin
Am             Am7 Am              Am7  Am
And into my own      I fold my head
Am                 Am7 Am                      Am7  Am
My full-sized child      with full-sized spread

[chorus]

Am            Cadd9            Am            G
Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know
Am    Cadd9            Am              G
In my hidden life I’ve made a seedling grow

[verse]

Am             Am7 Am              Am7  Am
Hawks and doves      and power fists
Am                 Am7 Am                Am7  Am
Black hand gripping      our kid’s wrists
Am                 Am7 Am                   Am7  Am
Lanterns and arrows      and little monk fish
Am                 Am7 Am          Am7  Am
They grant my every      child wish


[outro]

Am                Cadd9             Am           G
And birdies say I got no children, birdies never know
Am    Cadd9            Am              G
In my hidden life I’ve made a seedling grow
Am            Cadd9            Am            G
Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know
Am    Cadd9            Am              G
In my hidden life I’ve made a seedling grow
