The Birds of St. Marks by Jackson Browne
Tabbed using the version off of Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1 (the only version available, I think).
Put a capo on the first fret or tune each string down a half-step.

COh how sad they sound, the songs, the queen must sing of dying
A pAmrisoner upon her throne oFf melancholy siAmghing G
If she could see heFr mirror noGw
She would be free of Fthose who bow G
And scrape the ground beFneath her feet
CSilently she walks among her dying midnight roses
And watAmches as each moment goFes that never really know us G
And so it seemsF she doesn't care G
If she has dreamFs of no one there G
Within the shadowFs of her room
But alCl my frozen words aAmgree, and say it's time to
CCall back all the birds FI sent to fly behind her castle walls G
And I'm wearyAm of the nights IG've seen
FInside these empty halls C
Interlude
CWooden lady turn and turn among my weary secrets
And wavFe within the hours past and other empty pocketsAm G
Maybe we've found whFat we have lost G
When we've unwound so Fmany crossed G
Entangling misunderstandings F
But alCl my frozen words aAmgree, and say it's time to
CCall back all the birds FI sent to fly behind her castle walls G
And I'm wearyAm of the nights IG've seen
FInside these empty halls C
