Title:	Rock And Bird

     G            D
She captured both Rock and Bird
     C                     G
tied one to the leg of the other
D            Em
kept them as prisoners
           C            Am
until they knew who was master
         D                 G
then she threw them to the sky


Em                 D
Bird with unbarred wings disappeared
C                        Em
Rock with weighted heart returned
    C               Am
and Rock became her anchor
    D               G
and Bird became her dream


G                     D
Now she stands on the forest floor
          C                  G
among the pines and towering firs
D                 Em
Rock still firm beneath her feet
C                  Am
Bird perched high above her
        D               G
singing songs of love's betrayal


Em                D
'I offered you my endless skies
    C                        Em
you countered with hoods and chains
     C                Am
this song I sing will be the last
      D                G
to be inspired by your memory'
