[Verse 1]
Am
Oh,the falcon was a pretty bird
F G C E
wandered as she flew
F G C C/B Am
She danced around and pranced around
E E7 Am
wherever the warm winds blew
Am
And the falcon was a pretty bird
F G C E
Her voice was always still,
F G C C/B Am
But men with drums and men with guns
E E7 Am
they taught her how to kill
[Verse 2]
Am
Her eye was on the sparrow
F G C E
Her mind was on the dove,
F G C C/B Am
But no one cared and no one dared
E E7 Am
to speak to her of love
Am
Her eyes are always hooded
F G C E
Her claws are sharp as steel
F G C C/B Am
We teach her not to see too much
E E7 Am
We teach her not to feel
[Verse 3]
Am
Go build you a log cabin
F G C E
on a mountain so high,
F G C C/B Am
And hear the feathered war-birds yell
E E7 Am
as she goes screaming by
Am
She'll tease you she'll please you
F G C E
She'll satisfy your needs
F G C C/B Am
But someday she might turn around
E E7 Am
and maul the hand that feeds
[Verse 4]
Am
Your hours might be numbered
F G C E
Your end might come someday
F G C C/B Am
Go break her chain and free her brain
E E7 Am
and send her on her way
Am
And the falcon is a pretty bird
F G C E
Wonders as she flies
