Little Birds by Neutral Milk Hotel lovely, intense, and unreleased; post Aeroplane tune standard tuning intro: Am

^AmLittle birds born without a mother or a father I can watch their bodies forming in the running water ^GNow there is another in the middle of my mouth ^EmA hundred altogether within me now ^AmLittle bird, little bird come into my body

^AmMother, they're within me every moment I'm awaking Bodies multiplying 'til they finally overtake me ^GOpen up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing ^EmPut you hand within me and you'll know what I'm feeling ^AmI just want to swallow up and promise to protect them

^AmDaddy come to touch me but he seen his hands a shaking Look into my eyes and he could see their bodies breaking ^GPush me to the floor and in his hands I started beating ^EmI don't want to hear it anymore, he kept repeating ^AmDo you really want the burning hell that we believe in'

^AmDid you know the burning hell it took your baby brother' Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer' ^GAnother boy in town at night he took him for his lover And ^Emdeep in sin they held each other ^AmSo I took a hammer and nearly beat his little brains in

Knowing God in heaven would have, never could forgive him

So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains ^Gin ^Em ^AmLittle boy born without a father or a mother ^AmTaken to the river and then pushed into the water ^GAnd the priests are singing that the hell is getting hotter la la la la la ^AmFather, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him

From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the only one to save him

From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray ^Ghim ^AmAnd here beneath the ^Gwater I can see How the ^Emlights distort so ^Amstrange And I think this is how I^G would like to leave my^Em body And start ^Amagain
