King of Birds Karine Polwart
Just to say some of the lyrics weren't on lyric sites, so they may need
correcting. Also the chords are just starting points as 7's and add6's may need
adding. Great song though and my first full tab. Used the Radio 2 Folk Awards version.
Capo 3
At Ludgate [C]Hill
on the cracked and blackened cobbles of the [F]town
the ashes fall to [C]rest
As the tiny King of Birds he flutters [F]down
to build a cita[G]del
to light [Am]glory [G]in the [F]dark
and from [G]hell
to breath [Am]hope in [G]every [F]heart
Oah-[G]oh [Am]Oah-[G]oh-[F]oh (x2)
At Ludgate [C]Hill
through the siren screams the heavens burn [F]again
the city holds its [C]breath
as the tiny little king in slumber [F]bed
arises from the [G]dust
to light [Am]glory [G]in the [F]dark
and through the [G]frost
to breathe [Am]hope in [G]every [F]heart
Oah-[G]oh [Am]Oah-[G]oh-[F]oh (x4)
And there are [Am]murmors in the [F]choir, there are [C]whispers in the [G]dawn
that the [Am]king of birds is [F]broken on the [C]alter of his [G]home (x2)
At Ludgate [C]Hill
where the towers of smoke and mirrors bruise the [F]sky
the pilgrims huddle [C]in
as the tiny King of Birds begins to [F]cry
the people start to [G]sing
to light [Am]glory [G]in the [F]dark
to ring the [G]bell
and to breathe [Am]hope in [G]every [F]heart
Oah-[G]oh [Am]Oah-[G]oh-[F]oh (x8)
