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