C C G Em Em
G D C G G G G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Slicing through the altitude, aiming for the sun;
G D
the blisters on my wrinkled feet will soon be all but gone
C G D Em
I'm flapping toward the trap door light, ever gazing down
G D C G
at tire tracks and electric lines that grid the patterned ground
[Verse 2]
G C G
When I was just a little bird in my mommas nest,
G D
I never knew the world outside would offer such unrest
C G D Em
Now I see those crippled dreams were only dreams at best
G D C G
When I heard the news, I learned to flew and quickly headed west
[Instrumental]
G G C G
G G D D
C C G Em Em
G D C G G G G
[Verse 3]
G C G
I settled high on top a pile of broken furniture
G D
The liquid lines of veneered pine awoke memories of home
C G D Em
Then the tractors came and once again that old refrain was gone
G D C G
So I circled till the twilight killed the last remaining hum
[Verse 4]
G C G
I spotted spots across the space of littered hallowed ground;
G D
a reservation now reclaimed by all who've circled round;
C G D Em
a feathered flock of tattered stock, all Samsara bound
G D C G
I let the wind escape my wings and laid my body down
[Chorus]
C G
And I sang, thank God for this landfill
Em C
I've finally a place to land
C G D D7
And fill my beak an belly with plastic colored sand
C G Em C
But I won't fall down on my knees, cause I know where I stand
C G D G
I'm back, yes I'm back I'm back where I began
[Instrumental]
G G C G
G G D D
C C G Em Em
G D C G G G G
[Verse 5]
G C G
You might think that bitterness would fill this feathers heart,
G D
but truth be told the streets are gold amid these littered parts
C G D Em
There's treasure in the trash that blooms beneath the glistening stars
G D C G
And from sunset till dawn appears, this piece of land is ours
[Chorus]
C G
And I sang, thank God for this landfill
Em C
I've finally a place to land
C G D D7
And fill my beak an belly with plastic colored sand
C G Em C
But I won't fall down on my knees, cause I know where I stand
C G D G
I'm back, yes I'm back I'm back where I began
[Ending]
Am Em D G
I'm back, yes I'm back I'm back where I began
