Verse 2
And across (D major) that sea is an island
A paradise we are told
Where the toils of life are forgotten
And they (F major) call it the Is (G major) land of Souls (D major)
Verse 3
For (B flat major) only a soul (C major) can go (G major) there
A (B flat major) soul that's been (C major) set (D major) free
From the (B flat major) confines of (C major) a working life (G major)
To (F major) find etern (G major) ity (D major)
Verse 4
Your old man (D major) had a cage for
his pigeons (E minor) (D major)
(A major) But that's (D major) really where
he (E minor) kept (D major) his soul
And when he watched (E minor) them fly (D major)
(A major) he would see himself (E minor)
Least that's how it (D major) was told
Verse 5
But his soul (B flat major) was still (C major) trapped
in the (D major) cage son
While the birds (B flat major) they soared (G major) (C major) to the (A minor) sky
(F major) But he couldn't find (G major) his own way (D major) out
(F major) Least not 'til (D minor) the day (G major) he died (D major)
Verse 6
Oh, a man (D major) builds a cage
with the tools he is given
His casket is sealed with a
riveter's gun
This solitary madness
is where he is driven
It was (F major) him who was trapped (G major)
in the (D major) soul cage (A minor) son
It was (F major) him that was trapped
(G major) in the soul (D major) cage
Verse 7
(D major) (C major)
I (D major) know that he loved you,
but he hadn't the words
He'd be easier speaking
the language of birds
For to speak of emotion,
(E minor) (D major) it just wasn't done
(D minor) It was (F major) him who was trapped (G major) in the
(D major) soul cage son (A minor) (D major) (A minor)
It was (F major) him that was trapped (G major) in the soul (D major) cage
Verse 8
A (D major) man builds a cage
with the tools he is given
His casket is (Dsus4) sealed (D major) with (E minor) a
(D major) riveter's gun
The solitary mad (E minor) ness (D major) is
where he is driven
It was (F major) him who was trapped (G major)
in the soul (A minor) cage son
It was (F major) him that was trapped (G major) in the soul (D major) cage (Dsus4)
(D major)
