Cawing at your backdoor

Scratching at your window pane

Hey throw your window wide

And taste the April night with me again

Girl we been veering
C d
Backwards disappearing
g C d
Down in to the murky deep

Baby come on
C d
We'll be along time gone
g C d
That's time enough for sleep
Em d C
And hey now don't run and hide
Em d C
Your little heart away
g D/F# Em
If it's gone
d C
We'll sure never find it
d C g
Pining for lost innocence
(Repeat verse:)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/david_gray/jackdaw_crd.html ]
Our hammers beating hard
Against that old facade
Some other air to breathe
That we might break these molds
And free our restless souls
Start to believe
That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love
Like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth
As the surf that rolls
And crashes on the shore
(pre chorus and chorus)
And hey now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
(Bridge)
F C g
Tantalisingly I saw
F C Am g
Our shadows moving through the door
F C g
Traces from a different time
F C Am d
When I was yours and you were truly mine
All mine
(Back to verse)
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
And I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you yeah
I still want you
(pre and chorus)
And baby don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone
We'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
