The Birds Are Singing At Night

Intro:

G  D  C  x 4

G
Through the dawning age
G
We go walking together
G
Toward the yawning grave
G                           C
Burning days as we make our way
C
We'll leave our bones in the dust
C                            G
An untold legend is lighting up

G
What if I was the last sight you ever saw,
G
Would you die with a smile on your face
      G         D           C
Well don't even try to say you will,
              G          D          C
Because you'd hardly recognize the sight
       G               D           C
The young are getting old and the summer is cold,
         G               D          C
All the birds have been singing at night

Interlude:
G
C  G

G
When we're dead and gone,
G
Will the mountains remember,
G
Or just carry on
G                             C
Moving as slow as the forest grows
C
And turn our bones into dust,
C                            G
An untold legend is lighting up

G
When will I reach that light that I'm running to,
G
When I die, will it turn out forever
G
There's a fire burning inside of me,
G
When I die, will I burn out forever

     G             D      C
You don't need to lie, I know it will
              G               D        C
Because the darkness doesn't need the light
         G                 D           C
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,
             G               D          C
And all the birds have been singing at night

        G          D      C
Well, don't even try to save me, friend,
          G             D         C
'Cause I know it ain't worth the fight.
         G                 D            C
All the young are getting old and the summer is cold,
             G               D          C
And all the birds have been singing at night.
