Dark Bird Is Home by The Tallest Man On Earth
Dark Bird Is Home
Tuning: Standard (capo 4)
The original looks to be in CGCGCE (capo 8)

[Intro]
E E7sus4 A B7sus4
E E7 A7 B7sus4
E Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
E A
And so there were no higher mountains
B7sus4 E
It's all in your hand
(Riff) A
Valley was the future sea
B7sus4 E
And now sail's the plan
E A
And in this travel with no journey
B7sus4 E
I lose until I'm light
(Riff) A
Letting go of mind to have
B7sus4 E
What I'm keeping now
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
We're still towers in the valley
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Verse 2]
E A
And there are many ways of sorrow
B7sus4 E
For just stepping out
(Riff) A
Everyday a growling storm
B7sus4 E
But they're kind somehow
E A
I fall in love but keep on falling
B7sus4 E
I held you for life
(Riff) A
But letting go rope in hand
B7sus4 E
There's just leaving now
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
Still we're biking, laugh in memories
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Verse 3]
E A
And when there's no one on the bottom
B7sus4 E
You got there alone
(Riff) A
Kicking up some dust to see
B7sus4 E
Where a wind could blow
E A
And all the ways to ride a lightning
B7sus4 E
I've used up a few
(Riff) A
And I just want you to be safe
B7sus4 E
As I thunder through
[Chorus]
E A Asus2 B7sus4
And suddenly the day gets you down
B7sus4 Amaj7 Asus2 B7sus4
But this is not the end, no this is fine
B7sus4 A
We're still the towers in the valley
B7sus4 E
Still winds down this dream
(Riff) A
Still we're in the light of day
B7sus4 E
With our ghosts within
(Transition)
[Outro]
E A B7sus4 Amaj7
No this is not the end and no final tears
Asus2 B7sus4 (Transition)
That we need to show
E A B7sus4 Amaj7
I thought that this would last for a million years
Asus2 B7sus4
But now I need to go
(Outro)
Oh, fuck

version 2
Tuning: EBC#F#BF#
Capo: originally on 9th fret, but I prefer the 8th or 7th:)
So this song is quite easy. It just exist out of 10 easy chords that I typed out below here.
Besides that there is a little catchy loopy thing in it. I don't know the words to call it.
I just know how to play it:) And I definitely don't know if I gave the chords the right names,
just took them over from another tab. Thought it where cool names. Just play the given chords and
enjoy this fantastic beautiful song! Listen to the song to find out the correct strumming pattern.
You can play with this pattern of course!
