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

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