Bird Of The Summer chords by A Fine Frenzy

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA

   A augmentedA
You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A augmentedA brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
  A augmentedA
dooodoodoo

   A augmentedA
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
  A augmentedA
dooodoodoo

   A augmentedA
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
  A augmentedA
straight to the heat of your skin
    D MajorD
and I know our days are numbered,
    D MajorD
early bird of the summer
      A augmentedA
you'll fly south just as the fall begins

   A augmentedA
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
  A augmentedA
dooodoodoo

   A augmentedA
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
  A augmentedA
dooodoodoo

   A augmentedA
The fields where we wandered were golden
  A augmentedA
Now only muddy my boots
    D MajorD
and I know I should recover,
     D MajorD
you're a bird of the summer,
    A augmentedA
I was wrong to try and capture you

A augmentedA 2x

D MajorD
Flight
D MajorD
Flight

A augmentedA
A majorA 2x

*******

 A augmentedA
Gone is the pale hand of winter
 A augmentedA
Here is the first flush of may
   D MajorD
And soon I will discover
     D MajorD
whether birds of the summer
    A augmentedA
fly in circles or just fly away
