Mein Deern

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste Note: This is not in the same key as the original recording, which is a tone lower. I thought it was both simpler to write and play with these chords instead on guitar. [Intro] E Am F E [Verse 1] Am F E The fragile hours pass quickly Am F E As things once yearned for dissolve into dust A E F C Dm Spared the clatter of good intentions, bone china G E A Tinkling with bonhomie F Dm You are gently forgotten E Am In another room. F E Am F E [Verse 2] Am F E As you reach closer to outstretched hands Am F E Their cold clamour comforts you A E Gather your thought F C Dm Belongings pack quickly, G The dreams from the drawer, F Dm G E The Bachian rhythms that herald your journey Am Have started. [Chorus] D Mein Deern A D My little bird D Bm Kommen sie bitte A D Kommen sie bitte Bm A fearful flutter F#m Bright starling eyes Em Iridescent flashes D Jolt my stuttering heart. [Verse 3] E Am F E Am F E Suddenly, above you, watching Am F E Reaching towards your broken mouth A E Beautiful beak F C Dm Carefully nourishing, catching G E A Crumbs before they fall F Dm Your supine last supper G E Am Warmed with a child’s love. Am F E Once you made magic for me Am The kitchen, the stage F E The apron, the curtain A E Fingers that fixed F C Dm Ravaged war puppets flew over G E A Hellos, buttons and keys F Dm Eyes looked up in wonder G E Am Poised over semitones. [Instrumental] Am Dm E Am [Chorus] D Mein Deern A D My little bird D Bm Kommen sie bitte A D Kommen sie bitte Bm A fearful flutter F#m Bright starling eyes Em Iridescent flashes D Jolt my stuttering heart. Bm Mein Deern A D My little bird Bm D Kommen sie bitte A D Kommen sie bitte Bm The hallowed hour F#m Back, a tree waits Em Baton in hand D She sings my dreams Bm She sings my dreams D She sings my dreams Bm That little bird D That little bird is me. [Outro] Bm D Ah-ah, Ah-ah x4
