The birds they Csang
at the break of day
Start Gagain I heard them Csay C7
Don't E7dwell on what has Ampassed away
or what is Gyet to bGsus4e. G5 G7 G
The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free. [chorus]:
Ring the Fbells that Bbstill can Fring. Forget your Bbperfect offerFing.
There is a Ccrack, a Bbcrack, in Feverything. That's how the light gDmets in. G Gsus4 G
We asked for signs the signs were sent: the birth betrayed the marriage spent the widowhood of every government - signs for all to see. Can't run no more with the lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summed up A thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. [chorus] You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, there is no drum Every heart to love will come but like a refugee. [chorus] [chorus] that's how the light gets in that's how the light gets in [instrumental verse twice and fade]
