"Zen Archer" from 'A Wizard, A True Star' (1973) (Todd Rundgren) Gm Pretty Bird with feathers falling, pretty as a lady calling for her Cm Pink and midnight lover as she stares into the water Gm And a yellow moon is rising and there can't be no disguising Cm That the pretty bird is dying Eb D Gm F With a silver arrow lying at it's side Bb Am Ab Gm Rivers of blood, oceans of tears Gb Fm Eb D Life without death and death without reason Gm To the whole united nations Cm To your greatest expectations D Eb F Gm7 To the moment that you realise as a dark figure steps from out of the shadows Cm7 F Pretty bird closes it's eyes Eb BbM7 Pretty bird dies D Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer A man in parts forgotten with an outlook that is rotten And an attitude to match it finds relief inside a hatchet And he halved someone in Boulder Justifiability is in The hands of the beholder And you just don't know what people will do next Mountains of pain, valleys of love Death without life and life without meaning To the promise kept and broken To the love that's never spoken Just as surely as I'm in your ears a dark figure steps from out of the shadow Pretty bird closes it's eyes Pretty bird dies Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer [: Cm7 F Eb BbM7 D+5/D :] tabbed by Victor Levi (vlevi@start.com.au)
