C                    G
She sang like a bird, high on a wire
C                    G
At every chance, soulful as she could
C                 Am              C
And the words she chose were driven with such passion
Am      C                G
but sadly, I never understood

C                    G
She sang of God, but cursed like a sailor
C                    G
had manors of a queen, but grew up poor
Am                                      C
With a broken mind she'd stare with no reaction
G                   C                 G 
she didn't know her name or mine or yours

C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
C                     G
Many years can bring you all the wisdom
C                     G
Many years of memories all compiled
Am
Was cruel to have to watch her grow older
C                     H
While the rest of her turned back into a child

C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
C
Hey, hey, hey
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa
D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones

C                       G
She sang like a bird down to the wire
C                     G
My love, I hope she understood

C
Hey, hey, hey 
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa 
D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones 
C
Hey, hey, hey
Whoa, whoa, whoa 
G
Whoa, whoa, whoa

D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
D                                       Em
that's all that's left are feathers and bones
