Todd Rundgren - Zen archer

Pretty^Gm Bird with feathers falling, pretty as a lady calling for her ^CmPink and midnight lover as she stares into the water And a ^Gmyellow moon is rising and there can't be no disguising That the ^Cmpretty bird is dying With a ^Ebsilver arrow ^Dlying at it's ^Gmside ^F

^BbRivers of ^Amblood, ^Aboceans of ^Gmtears ^GbLife without ^Fmdeath and ^Ebdeath without ^Dreason

To the ^Gmwhole united nations To your ^Cmgreatest expectations To the ^Dmoment that you realise as a ^Ebdark figure steps from ^Fout of the shad^Gm7ows

^Cm7Pretty bird closes it's ^Feyes ^EbPretty bird ^BbM7dies A^Dnother pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer

A^Gm man in parts forgotten with an outlook that is rotten And an ^Cmattitude to match it finds relief inside a hatchet And he^Gm halved someone in Boulder

The h^Cmands of the beholder And you just don't know what people will do next

^BbMountains ^Amof pain^Ab, valleys ^Gmof love ^GbDeath without^Fm life and ^Eblife without m^Deaning

To the ^Gmpromise kept and broken To the l^Cmove that's never spoken Just as^D surely as I'm in your ears a^Eb dark figure steps from^F out of the sha^Gm7dow

^Cm7Pretty bird closes it's ^Feyes ^EbPretty bird ^BbM7dies A^Dnother pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer
