It''s the shadow in the dark

The silver in the park
E G
It''s the broken, faded bird
D E
You''ve learned to call your heart
E G
It''s not a border you can see
D E
Plainer than you or me
E G
I don''t pull the lock back
D C E
And I don''t have the key
No key

E G
It hovers in the living room
E G
Just above the door
E G
Whistles while it hangs there
D E
Feathers drip from every pore
E G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D C E
And settles to the floor
E G
It shows the spectacle of falling
D C E
And settles to the floor

And settles to the floor

Verse
F Ab
It hovers in the living room
F Ab
just above the door
F Ab
it whistles while it hangs there
Eb F
feathers dripping from every pore
Ab
they show the spectacle of falling
Eb Db F
and settle to the floor
Ab
they show the spectacle of falling
Eb Db F
and settle to the floor
(play the bridge again, then solo over the verse progression)
It''s the shadow in the dark
It''s the silver in the park
It''s the broken, faded bird
You''ve learned to cally our heart
It''s not a border you can see
Just as plain as you or me
I can''t throw the lock back
And I don''t have the key
It hovers in the living room
Just above the door
It whistles while it hangs there
Feathers dripping from every pore
They show the spectacle of falling
And settle to the floor
They show the spectacle of falling
And settle to the floor
