'The Woodworker' by Falling Up from their 2015 album 'Falling Up'
While the chords are easy enough the timing is pretty weird since the song has an odd time signature.
I recommend playing along with the song and listen out for the chords changes, with a bit of practice you'll
get it.
[Verse]
GWhen you're a bird you can fly Dmover highways
GWhen you come down, they will be Dmgone
FThey all ran as fast as they Amcould
GYou are a bird, over ten tDmhousand life times
GBut only one time, I'll spin you Dmaround
FUnder the lights as the orchestra Amplays
G
[Chorus]
And I Fwait Gin the Fshivering Amnight
AmSomewhere a voice spoke insidGe
And you Fclimb Gthrough the Fwindow ouAmtside
AmAnd you told me to search for you thGere
In the MysterFyG  F  Am  G

AmoDmng these Gthieves, Amyou do Gnot belongF  
BenDmeath the Gtwilight, Amyou arGe floating Fon
FAnd I will lose coGntact, tFhen I will lose bGalance

[Verse]
GWhen you're a bird, you can see Dmthrough the future
GThere is a field that looks like the Dmsea
FAnd we're in a boat on a fiery Ambreeze
Then I Gsaid, "When you're a bird, you will see Dmothers like you."
GYou said, "If that is true, I'll someday rDmeturn."
FBut the wind picked up and I couldn't Amhear...

In the Mystery
