Intro
C
C A# F C
[Verse 1]
C A#
Multicolored faces, and red hands and blue hands
F C
Grasp at the shapes in his mind
C A#
Blackbirds and bluebirds are resting on his shoulder
F C
Waiting for their moment to fly
A# F C
Multicolored feathers against the sky
(same chords progression)
Silver shadows spread over the landscape
Draped over the background as a veil
And were getting drunk while we look into sunrise
(mute)
Singing songs of men who had it all but died in jail
[Chorus]
C A#
Whatever forever
F C
We keep our heads up high Our voices strong
C A#
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever
F C
The ways of the world, where I belong
[Verse 2]
C
We got lost in the middle of the desert
We prayed for a little luck, we came out smiling
We looked up above we saw the black and blue birds flying
The colors against the sky
A# F C
And I know one day they’ll die
A# F C
Cause I know one day you’ll die
A# F C
Cause even multicolored angels die
[Chorus]
C A#
But whatever forever
F C
We keep our head up high
C A#
But whatever forever
F C
We keep our head up high
