CHORDS: Ben Howard – Rookery Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are the chords for Rookery by Ben Howard on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

[Verse 1]
C          C/D          Am
Birch tree lost its branch one
         C/D         C
day in violent winter
C              C/D
I said it was grieving,
             Am          C
you said it don't feel nothing
  F           G         C
I bet you think everything's
                  Am
in its rightful place
    C              G         C
That sentiment is man's disgrace

[Verse 2]
C          C/D           Am
Well the rooks in the trees,
     C/D           C
they don't half bother me
F              G/C
Clawing at my mind with
      G       C
every given opportunity
F              G         C      Am
It's spring outside, a perilous sky
           C        G/C        Am
and that terrible clattering sound
C
"Go ahead,
            G           Am
you should go shoot them down"
Am
That's what you said,
    G                       F
"you should go shoot them down"

[Verse 3]
 G             Am
So hey, that's me
C                                G6
Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery
G           Am
Oh, look at me
Fmaj7         G/C       F
The definition of futility
F
That's what they'll say anyway
F
Won't they, babe?

[Verse 4]
C          C/D        Am
So I'll go back to working through
      C      C/D           C
the gentle hours of the evening
C             F            Am
Where the weather and the wine and
      G/C               C
the company treat me easily
F            G          C
Unknowing am I of the wind
             Am
that took my eye
F           G/C        C
Unknowing am I of the wind

F            G          C
Unknowing am I of the wind
             Am
that took my eye
C            G          C
Unknowing am I of the wind
