Intro:
Dm G Dm G Dm G D5
D5
They say there's an underground river,
That none of us can see,
And it flows through winding tunnels,
F G D5
On its way to a tide-less sea.
D5
And across that sea is an island,
A paradise we are told,
Where the toils of life are forgotten,
F G D5
And they call it the Island of Souls.
Bb C D
For only a soul can go there,
Bb C D
A soul that's been set free,
Bb C D
From the confines of a working life,
F G D
To find eternity.
D5
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons,
But that's really where he kept his soul,
And when he watched them fly he would see himself,
Least that's how it was told.
Bb C D
But his soul was still trapped in the cage son,
Bb C Am
While the birds they soared to the sky,
F G D
But he couldn't find his own way out,
F G D
Least not 'til the day he died.
D5
Oh, a man 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,
F G D Am
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son.
F G D5
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
D5
I 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, it just wasn't done,
F G D Am
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son.
F G D5
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
D5
Oh, a man 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,
F G D Am
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son.
F G D5
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage.
D5
