      [Verse 1]
G                              C
In this autumn town where the leaves can fall
    G                     C
On either side of the garden wall
G                      C                D
We laugh all night to keep the embers glowin'
G                                  C
Some are leapin' free from their moving cars
G                               C
Stackin' stones 'round their broken hearts
G                 C                     D
Waving down any wind that might come blowin'

[Verse 2]
G                          C
Mice move out when the field is cut
G                       C
Serpents curl when the sun comes up
G               C                    D
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'
G                   C         
Some get rain and some get snow
G                    C          
Some want love and some want gold
G               D               C
I just want to see you in the mornin'

[Hook]
G                       C
Dogs lay down in the evenin' heat
G                          C
Fish do worse when they leave the sea
G                C                   D
Songbirds only end up where they're goin'

[Verse 3]
G                               C
In this autumn town where the lights can change
G                              C
Some get mercy and some get blame
G                         C                D
Some get lost when they feel the river flowin'
G                             C
It's all holy smoke and the flame dies fast
G                            C
We hold our hats while the days fly past
G                     C                    D
Cold wind comes and we wave but it keeps goin'

[Hook 2]
G                        C
Fathers, Sons and Holy Ghosts
G                      C    
All come back or they all come close
G                C                  D
Songbirds only end up where they're going

[Verse 4]
G                  C
Some get hard and some go home
G                    C
Some want flesh and some want bone
G              D               C
I just want to see you in the mornin'

[Outro]
G                     D              C            G
Yeah, I just want to see you in the mornin'
