Rule #23 – Birds of a Feather

Verse:
        E                          A
She was born by the sea, her father bounced her on his knee,
         E                      A   B
While he shared past stories of grandeur,
            E
That would dance inside her head,
      A                               E                B  E
Every night while tucked in bed, same tales, different actor
E                                             A
There were costumes on the floor, she'd use a wooden stick and board,
   E                           A   B
To vanquish the foes that were after,
E
All them stuffed up toys,
          A                                  E                  B  E
That were sticking round by choice they were family in this together
E                                         A
When she grew like a tree, she sought out bonny company,
          E                     A    B
Built the finest crew you could ask for,
          E
They were brave and sturdy lads,
     A                  E                        B   E
That remind her of dad, back to back, birds of a feather

Chorus:
      A             E              B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
        E     Dbm        B   E
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Verse:
E                                A
With a scaled down graph, her husband did the math,
     E                    A   B
On a course to have the advantage,
E                                     A
Cause the British they were smart but didn't
                      E               B  E
Have the heart of our strong Irish companions
E                                A
They can write shoddy laws, and try to buy her off,
     E                        A    B
But they'll never own what we have here,
E                    A                   E                 B    E
a solidarity within familiar seas, cause we are one in the thousands

Chorus:
      A             E              B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
        E     Dbm        B   E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
      A             E              B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
        E     Dbm        B   E
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Verse:
E                                A
She'd defend her name, as the cannon shots and flames,
E                           A   B
Tried to deter what she is after,
             E
And although she lost lost her love,
   A                              E                B       E
No she's never givin up, to these tyrant, dirty ol xxxxxxxx
E                                    A
We would charge as a pack, you could never hold us back,
       E                         A   B
We are fierce and grew with each battle,
E
It etched inside our veins,
    A                                  E               B    E
The hardships that we've gained, we've become a myth unraveled

Chorus:
      A             E              B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
        E     Dbm        B   E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
      A             E              Gb
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
        E     Dbm        B  E
Back to back, Birds of a feather

Verse:
E                        A
Those final days, in the castle she had claimed,
    E                       A       B
She drew the sword that had brought her,
        E
Through countless victories,
         A                       E                 B  E
That she survived to see, in the tales of her own grandeur
