But I know the chords are right 
Capo 3
AmFilthy BFird Laying Cin our Emyard
AmFour chambered Fheart never Cbeat so Emhard
AmDad said Fshe was Calmost Emgone
AmUpside Fdown out Con our Emlawn
AmAnd I could Fhold her Cin a sEmhoe box
Amif she Fheals she Ccould be Emmine
Amand if I Fcan not Csave her Emspirit
AmDad says FI should Cbreak her Emspine
AmShaking brilliant, Fsilver black wings
CJesus Christ what Emprayers these dare sing 
:CHORUS:
AmWear your hearts Cout on your sleeves for
Fstarlings, Gstarlings
AmAll the least of Call of these are
FStarlings, Gstarlings
AmTwo years Fpass I Cpump the Emchamber
Amfull of Fair to Cshoot the Embirds
Amharmless Fgame to Chit them Emslightly
AmScare them Foff in Cother Emwords
AmStarling, Ffalling Cto her Emdeath
AmPiercing Fcopper Csteals her Embreath
AmSee the Fflower Cin her Embreast 
Amstarving Fbabies Cin her Emnest
AmRaise our souls Fup to the sky
CWhy must helpless Emcreatures die
(Chorus)
:BRIDGE:
AmEvery breath, has Csacred weight
AmEvery life has sCome design
AmYet we kill and Cpossess faith 
AmSpeak of life, while Cdigging graves
AmRaise our souls Fup to the sky
CWhy must helpless Emcreatures die
(Chorus X2)
