[Verse 1]
Oh,the Amfalcon was a pretty bird
Fwandered Gas she CflewE  
She Fdanced aGround and Cpranced C/BaroAmund
wherEever the E7warm winds Amblew
And the Amfalcon was a pretty bird
Her Fvoice was Galways CstilEl,
But Fmen with Gdrums and Cmen C/Bwith Amguns
they Etaught her E7how to Amkill
[Verse 2]
Her Ameye was on the sparrow
Her Fmind was Gon the CdoveE,
But Fno one Gcared and Cno C/Bone dAmared
to Espeak to E7her of Amlove
Her Ameyes are always hooded
Her Fclaws are Gsharp as CsteeEl
We Fteach her Gnot to Csee C/Btoo mAmuch
We Eteach her E7not to fAmeel
[Verse 3]
Go Ambuild you a log cabin
on a FmountGain so ChighE,
And Fhear the Gfeathered Cwar-C/Bbirds Amyell
as Eshe goes E7screaming Amby
She'll Amtease you she'll please you
She'll FsatisGfy your CneedEs
But Fsomeday Gshe might Cturn C/BarouAmnd
and Emaul the E7hand that Amfeeds
[Verse  4]
Your Amhours might be numbered
Your Fend might Gcome CsomedaEy
Go Fbreak her Gchain and Cfree C/Bher Ambrain
and Esend her E7on her Amway
And the Amfalcon is a pretty bird
FWonders Gas she CflieEs
She Fasks us Geasy CqueC/BstionAms
We Etell her E7easy lAmies

C/B

[Verse 1]

Oh,the falcon was a pretty bird

F G C E

wandered as she flew

F G C C/B Am

She danced around and pranced around

E E7 Am

wherever the warm winds blew

And the falcon was a pretty bird

F G C E

Her voice was always still,

F G C C/B Am

But men with drums and men with guns

E E7 Am

they taught her how to kill

[Verse 2]

Her eye was on the sparrow

F G C E

Her mind was on the dove,

F G C C/B Am

But no one cared and no one dared

E E7 Am

to speak to her of love

Her eyes are always hooded

F G C E

Her claws are sharp as steel

F G C C/B Am

We teach her not to see too much

E E7 Am

We teach her not to feel

[Verse 3]

Go build you a log cabin

F G C E

on a mountain so high,

F G C C/B Am

And hear the feathered war-birds yell

E E7 Am

as she goes screaming by

She'll tease you she'll please you

F G C E

She'll satisfy your needs

F G C C/B Am

But someday she might turn around

E E7 Am

and maul the hand that feeds

[Verse 4]

Your hours might be numbered

F G C E

Your end might come someday

F G C C/B Am

Go break her chain and free her brain

E E7 Am

and send her on her way

And the falcon is a pretty bird

F G C E

Wonders as she flies

F G C C/B Am

She asks us easy questions

E E7 Am

We tell her easy lies
