The White Buffalo And The Forest Rangers - Come Join The Murder
## NOTE 1: To play the original Key starting in Dm without Capo, Transpose up 5 semitones. ##
##         This version with Capo allows everyone, including novices, to play the song.    ##
## NOTE 2: It was pointed out to me that the correct word in the Chorus is 'trap' not 'track. ##
##         The lyrics have been changed accordingly.                                          ##
CAPO: 5th Fret

[INTRO]
Am

[VERSE]
                                       F     
There's a blackbird perched outside my window
           C      
I hear him calling
           Em  
I hear him sing
   Am                                F     
He burns me with his eyes of gold to embers
               C   
He sees all my sins
            G   
He reads my soul

[PRE-CHORUS]
Dm           Am       Em       F 
One day that bird, he spoke to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G  C
Like Martin Luther, like Pericles___

[CHORUS]
              G     C
Come join the murder
              G    C
Come fly with black
               G      F
We'll give you freedom
               G   C
From the human trap
              G     C
Come join the murder
           G    C
Soar on my wings
                 G          F
You'll touch the hand of God
               G   F
He'll make you king
               G    Am
He'll make you king___

[VERSE]
                           F      
On a blanket made of woven shadows
           C     
Flew up to heaven
             Em   
On a raven's glide
      Am                             F      
These angels have turned my wings to wax now
            C    
I fell like Judas
             G    
From grace tonight

[PRE-CHORUS]
    Dm      Am     Em      F 
And on that day he lied to me
Dm          Am           Em  F   G  C
Like Martin Luther, like Pericles___

[CHORUS]
              G     C
Come join the murder

Come fly with black

We'll give you freedom
               G   C
From the human trap
              G     C
Come join the murder
           G    C
Soar on my wings
                 G          F
You'll touch the hand of God
               G   F
He'll make you king

He'll make you king___

[VERSE]
  Am                            F      
I walk among the children of my fathers
           C    
The broken wings
           Em  
Betrayal's cost
     Am                             F        
They call to me, but never touch my heart now
         C  
I am too far
        G   
I'm too lost

[PRE-CHORUS]
Dm        Am           Em          F 
All I can hear is what he spoke to me

                            F   
So now I curse that raven's fire
            C   
You made me hate
            Em  
You made me burn
   Am                            F   
He laughed aloud as he flew from Eden
           C   
You always knew
          G    
You never learn
