Текст песни Песни из кино и мультфильмов — Green Finch & Linnet Bird (Jayne Wisener, OST «Sweeney Todd») с аккордами:
Вступление Intro: Eb G F Eb F Eb F Green finch and linnet bird, Bb Nightingale, blackbird, F Eb How is it you sing? Dm How can you jubilate, E Sitting in cages, Am E Never taking wing? Am Outside the sky waits, Ab Beckoning, beckoning, Am Am - G - Gb Just beyond the bars. F How can you remain, Bb Staring at the rain, Dm Eb Maddened by the stars? F Eb How is it you sing Bb Anything? How is it you sing? F Green finch and linnet bird, Bb Nightingale, blackbird, F Eb How is it you sing? Dm Whence comes this melody E constantly flowing? Am E Is it rejoicing or merely halloing? Am Are you discussing or fussing Ab Or simply dreaming? Am Am - G - Gb Are you crowing? F Are you screaming? Bb Ringdove and robinet, Dm Eb Is it for wages, F Eb Singing to be sold? Bb Have you decided it's F Safer in cages, Bb Singing when you're told? (ANTHONY enters. Instantly he sees her and stands transfixed by her beauty) F My cage has many rooms, Bb Damask and dark. F Eb Nothing there sings, Dm Not even my lark. Dm Larks never will, you know, E When they're captive. Am E Teach me to be more adaptive. Am Green finch and linnet bird, Ab Nightingale, blackbird, Am Am - G - Gb Teach me how to sing. F If I cannot fly, Bb Let me sing. (She gazes into the middle distance disconsolately) ANTHONY (Gazing at her, sings softly): Dm Eb I have sailed the world, F Eb Beheld its wonders, Bb From the pearls of Spain F To the rubies of Tibet, Bb But not even in London F Eb Have I seen such a wonder... (Breathlessly) Dm Lady look at me look at me miss oh E Look at me please oh Am E Favor me favor me with your glance. Am Ah, miss, what do you what do you see off Ab There in those trees oh Am Am - G - Gb Won't you give won't you give me a chance? F Who would sail to Spain Bb For all its wonders, Dm Eb When in Kearney's Lane F Eb Lies the greatest wonder yet? Bb Ah, miss, look at you look at you pale and F Ivory-skinned oh Bb Look at you looking so sad so queer. F Eb Promise not to retreat to the darkness Dm Back of your window not till you E not till you look down here. Look at ANTHONY. JOHANNA: Am E Me! Green finch and linnet bird, Am Look at Nightingale, blackbird, Ab Me! Teach me how to sing. Am Am - G - Gb If I cannot fly, F Look at me... Bb Let me sing...
