In Our Talons Lyrics

Intro: Bm - Gmaj7 - Bm - Bm (x4)
j7
And the warblers sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
j7
And the sparrows sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
Through the wheeeeeeeeels, through the wheels on the interstate,
And hear no refrain.
j7
And the beetles creeps (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
j7
On the crippled trees, (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And he looooooooks down to where the soil must have been,
Wondering.
And no, you're not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.

D Emadd9 Bm A Gmaj7 F#7
You're in our talons now, and we're never letting go.
j7
And the branches bend (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
j7
To the growing sea. (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)
And they aaaaaaaaaaask, and they ask it to spread their seeds,
For they know they're drowning.
And no, you're not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.

You're in our headlights, frozen, and no, we're not stopping.

D Emadd9 Bm A Gmaj7 A6
You may not believe, but even we were scared at first.

D Emadd9 Bm A Gmaj7 A6
It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.
We're only human; this at least we've learned.
