Intro:
Dm G Dm G Dm G D5
D5They say there's an underground river,
That none of us can see,
And it flows through winding tunnels,
FOn its way to a tGide-less seaD5.
D5And across that sea is an island,
A paradise we are told,
Where the toils of life are forgotten,
FAnd they call it Gthe Island oD5f Souls.
BbFor only a sCoul can gDo there,
BbA soul that's been sCet frDee,
BbFrom the confines of a wCorking lDife,
FTo find GeternitDy.
D5Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
But that's really where he kept his soul,
And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
Least that's how it was told.
But his sBboul was stCill trapped in the cDage son,
While the bBbirds they soaCred to the sAmky,
But he couldFn't find hiGs own way Dout,
Least noFt 'til the Gday he diDed.
D5Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
This solitary madness is where he is driven,
It was hFim who was trGapped in the soDul cage sAmon.
It was hFim that was trGapped in the sD5oul cage.
D5I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words,
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds,
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done,
It was hFim who was trGapped in the soDul cage sAmon.
It was hFim that was trGapped in the sD5oul cage.
D5Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given,
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun,
This solitary madness is where he is driven,
It was hFim who was trGapped in the soDul cage sAmon.
It was hFim that was trGapped in the sD5oul cage.
D5
