[VERSE 1]
DHeaded North, where the snow geese go
DTroubled hearts, hope the kids don't know
Prairie A7wind, are you tDalkin' to A7me?
AYou gotta speak your mind through the rattle of Gtrees
You can Dfreeze the body but the Aeye still Dsees
[VERSE 2]
DTake your cue from the moss and stone
DKeep the few and leave the others alone
We A7lost our way, hear the Dvoices behA7ind
AThe way is green ahead but the path is unGkind
You gotta Dsave your soul no matter Awhat you fDind
[CHORUS]
AGuide us home on a Dwing and a Aprayer
GTalk to ya later when we Cland someGwhere
DWild birds singin' their Gmournful Dsong
DWild birds livin' in a wAorld gone Dwrong
[INTERLUDE]
D    G    D    A    D
[VERSE 3]
DMakin' friends, with the lowland tide
DThe car's on fire, it seems our God was denied
The jury A7waits, we all Dknow it's a A7crime
ANo way to build a case 'cause there's so little Gtime
No Dlaws on Earth can justiA7fy this Dcrime
[CHORUS]
AGuide us home on a Dwing and a Aprayer
GTalk to ya later when we Cland someGwhere
DWild birds singin' their Gmournful Dsong
DWild birds livin' in a wAorld gone Dwrong
[INTERLUDE]
D    G    D    A    D
[VERSE 4]
DSo take my hand and squeeze it tight
DWayward son, we can make it right
Fading A7eyes, you've given Dmore than your A7share
A7You're tryin' to turn the page, but you're already Gthere
DOne more kiss, we got Alove to Dspare
[CHORUS]
AGuide us home on a Dwing and a Aprayer
GTalk to ya later when we Cland someGwhere
DWild birds singin' their Gmournful Dsong
DWild birds livin' in a wAorld gone Dwrong
