Owls Acordes

	  
D 

                                G             Em 
The blue house at the corner of Twilight and State 
       A                                          D 
Four storeys, soaring turrets, floors of wood parquet        
                          G                 Em 
And owls, so many owls, snowy, horned and screech 
 A                                      D 
Thousands of owls, all flapping their wings 

       A                               G          D 
How I love the marble staircase, the claw-footed tubs 
     Em                         A               A7       
The room of rare orchids, the glass hall for my guns 

  D                  G                 
Statues of pharaohs, 20 feet tall,  
  A                                      D 
crystal chandeliers, rare paintings of clowns 

         A                       G      D 
But the owls, so many owls, I'm never alone 
     G              A           D 
The owls make this blue house a home

      D            G               
How peaceful it is to watch them soar 
              A                                        D 
Through the palm-tree ballroom with its gold-paneled doors 
                              G           Em 
And as I sit by the fire and slip off my boots 
      A                                           D 
They perch on harpoons and the stuffed heads of moose 

      A                   G           D 
The apothecary closet is lined with shelves 
      Em                       A         A7 
But deeper than expected and slanted as well 

     D                                      G 
How long have I been here searching for my pills 
        A                                            D 
As the ceiling grows upward and the walls start to swell 

         A                           G          D 
Oh, the owls, the owls, with their feathers of silk 
    G           A                          D 
The owls, they mock me and have stolen my pills

        A                           G            D 
Oh the owls, the owls, with their shining green eyes 
     G               A                            D 
The owls, they will save me, if not today then tonight
