Carrier Pigeons
© 2008 Bryan Masters
cut capo 2
E A B (4x)
E
You and me, my old friend
A B
two guitars and two grown men
A B
a bunch of songs that never been
E B
on any hit parade
E
You and me up on this stage
A B
everyone here is half our age
A B
most nights they don't hear a note we play
E B
or a word we sing
ch:
E
They can't hear us anymore
A
We're like carrier pigeons
E
with no place to fly
A B E
run out of time and run out of sky
A
It's like having perfect vision
B E
and nothing left to see
A B E
we're like carrier pigeons
A B E
in a world that doesn't need
A B E
carrier pigeons
instrumental verse
ch:
You and me, we've had plenty
lessons learned since we were twenty
a few regrets but not too many
and a lot of highway miles
These guitars and these tired fingers
oughta find a place to linger
find a place where songs and singers
are worth somebody's time
br:
A B
Every now and then the barroom voices go quiet
E
and suddenly the song is bigger than the room
A
and squinting through the smoke and lights
B
I see a look I recognize
E B
and something in somebody's eyes tells me I'm getting through
They can't hear us anymore
But we're carrier pigeons
we still gotta fly
got a little more time and a little more sky
With nearly-perfect vision
and a whole lot left to see
if we're carrier pigeons
then I guess we're gonna be
carrier pigeons
even if nobody needs
carrier pigeons
Be sure to let me know when you tackle one of my tunes, so I can brag about it.
