Verse 1:
Cm Eb
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G# Bb
Yesterday's buds are tomorrows flowers
Cm Eb
Those who speak numbers refuse the great forgiver
G# Bb
and powerful men raise their hands and deliver
Cm Eb
All the superstitions to which we all cling
G# Bb
While high minds in geneva ponder e8 vs string
Cm Eb
The sun hides itself, concealing its grin
G# Bb
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
Chorus:
Cm
Oh, young cardinals
G# Fm
Nesting in the trees
Cm
Oh, hear our songs
G#
And reign your
Fm
innocence on me
Post chorus:
1 2 3 4!!!
Verse 2:
Cm Eb
Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
G# Bb
white tails graze and wolves devour
Cm Eb
Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
G# Bb
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
Cm Eb
The god of the sea is swinging his trident
G# Bb
We stoke our fires with the bones of tryants
Cm Eb
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
G# Bb Cm--
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: Cm--G/B--Bb--F/A-- x2
Bridge:
Cm
Young cardinals
take flight
G/B
return to nest in
the black of night
Bb
There are things you
F/A
were not meant to know
(Repeat)
(Repeat Chorus)
