Barn Owl, Night Killer

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]

Dm G Am G
Dm G Am G

[Verse 1]

Dm G
All I had hoped for
Am
I kept inside your car
G
The rabbit in the barn

Dm G
Most of all I wait
Am
I wait beside the door
G
I wait beside the door

Dm G
Oh, I was wrong
Am
Trembling in the cage
G
I was diamonds in the cage

Dm G
In seven hours
Am
I consider death
G
And your father called to yell at me
Dm
“You little boy, you little boy”

[Chorus]

G
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oo
Am
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-ah-ah
G Dm
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oooooooo
G
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oo
Am
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-ah-ah
G Dm
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oooooooo

[Verse 2]

Dm G
Found out you cheated me
Am
I ran behind the barn
G
And cut my hands somehow

Dm G
Blood in the meadow lark
Am
I punched your ears instead
G
I punched you in the head
Dm
You only laughed and laughed and laughed

G
How I was wrong
Am
tingling from the kill
G
You tickle me until
Dm
You devil bird, you evil still

G
I slept on my arms
Am
Sleeping on the sill
G
I was sleeping in the room with you
Dm
You little boy, you little boy

[Verse 3]

G
How could you run from me now
Am
The loneliest chime in the house
G
The loneliest chime in the house
Dm
You let it out, you let it out

G
Come to me Calvary still
Am
I’m weeding and raking until
G
I’m bleeding in spite of my love for you
Dm
It bruised and bruised my will

G
Counting alluvial plains
Dm
The breathing inside of the range
G
You touched me inside of my cage
Dm
Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me

G
Come to me feathered and frayed
Am
For I am the ugliest prey
G
For I am the ugliest prey
Dm
Beyond the reckless, reckless praise

[Chorus]

Dm G
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oo
Am
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-ah-ah
G Dm
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oooooooo

[Bridge]

F C
You said you’d wait for me
Dm
Down by the tannery creek
G
Far out by the clothesline where
F
We used to kiss behind the sheets

C
Wrapped in a blanket of red
Dm
The owl and the tanager sat
G
The owl and the tanager said
Dm
One waits until the hour is death

[Chorus]

G
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oo
Am
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-ah-ah
G Dm
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oooooooo
G
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oo
Am
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-ah-ah
G Dm
Hoo-oo-oo Oo-oooooooo

All I had hoped for I kept inside your car the rabbit in the barn most of all I wait I wait beside the door I wait beside the door. Now I was wrong tembling in the cage I was dying to the rage. In seven hours I consider death and your father called to yell at me you little boy, you little boy. Found out you cheated me I ran behind the barn and cut my hands and mouth. Blood in the meadow lark I punched your ears instead I punched you in the head, you only laughed and laughed and laughed. And How I was wrong, dangling from the kiln you tickle me until you devil bird, you evil still. I slept on my arms, sleeping on the sill I was sleeping in the room with you you little boy, you little boy. How could you run from me now the loneliest chime in the house, the loneliest chime in the house you let it out, you let it out. Come to me covered and still, I’m bleeding and breaking until I’m bleeding in spite of my warmth for you, you bruise and bruise my will. Come to me now with you bring, the prettiest side of the range, you touched me inside of my cage, beneath my shirt your hands embraced me. Come to me feathered and free, for I am the ugliest prey, for I am the ugliest prey beyond the reckless, reckless raise. You said you’d wait for me. Down by the tannery creek far out by the clothesline where we used to kiss behind the sheets. Wrapped in a blanket of red, the owl and the tanager sat, the owl and the tanager said one waits until the hour is death.
