Intro
A#
A# Ab Eb A#
[Verse 1]
A# Ab
Multicolored faces, and red hands and blue hands
Eb A#
Grasp at the shapes in his mind
A# Ab
Blackbirds and bluebirds are resting on his shoulder
Eb A#
Waiting for their moment to fly
Ab Eb A#
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]
A# Ab
Whatever forever
Eb A#
We keep our heads up high Our voices strong
A# Ab
You taught me how to be keen of mind and clever
Eb A#
The ways of the world, where I belong
[Verse 2]
A#
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
Ab Eb A#
And I know one day they’ll die
Ab Eb A#
Cause I know one day you’ll die
Ab Eb A#
Cause even multicolored angels die
[Chorus]
A# Ab
But whatever forever
Eb A#
We keep our head up high
A# Ab
But whatever forever
Eb A#
We keep our head up high
