[Verse]
        G6                    Am
All the leaves have turned to leather
       Bm                C
I have lost faith in the spring
G6              Am
Withered like a dark balloon
      Bm            C
Oh, I hear no robin sing

G6               Am
Ushered with the shower still
        Bm                 C
Oh, the rain falls off the leaves
G6                 Am
And a rim of shady light
               Bm          C
It forms these patterns on my hands


[Chorus]
      C   C/B  Am
I can see your ring
                     G
Is it camouflaged or etched
C    C/B Am
Tell the king
                  G
To me this errand sent

   C    C/B      Am
To call such a hole
                      G
In the kingdom of the Lord
        C   C/B Am
That we are a - fraid
                  G
Where there is no fear

[Verse]
    G6             Am
Oh, he fell into a slumber
        Bm                 C
And did not wake until the dawn
   G6            Am
To see a band of orange clouds
          Bm            C
Cross the middle of the sky

    G6            Am
Oh, he got into a fluster
          Bm                C
He felt a tightening in his leg
          G6                Am
With such finesse he waived a hornet
       Bm   C
From a wine glass


[Chorus]
    C    C/B  Am                    G
And ti - ny fluffs of the feathered life
        C     C/B Am                            G
And you wan - der forth with your insolence and wine
        C       C/B  Am                        G
To your fruit - less mourn to them that cannot hear
    C    C/B Am              G
And what the fuck am I doing here?

[Verse]
       G6            Am
In the ghettos of Chicago
Bm                      C
Amid the poverty and despair
           G6
Inside the game hens
         Am               Bm       C
Were the giblets in a plastic bag

  G6                Am
A cocktail which consisted
       Bm             C
Of his gin and her vermouth
          G6       Am             Bm     C
Garnished together with the pearl onions


[Chorus]
C    C/B Am                            G
Dy - ing eyes gleamed forth their ashy light
C    C/B Am                     G
Ti - ny fluffs of the feathered life
        C     C/B Am                            G
And you wan - der forth with your insolence and wine
        C       C/B  Am                        G
To your fruit - less mourn to them that cannot hear
