Sovay
  As recorded by Andrew Bird on the album The Mysterious Production of Eggs

Transcribed by Cameron Brydon ([email protected])

Andrew Bird is an amazing singer/songwriter out of Chicago. He is a one-man orchestra,
playing multiple instruments during each song, looping samples of each to build songs.

He is amazing live, putting on his entire show with just one person, Kevin O'Donnel, who
plays drums and keyboards simultaneously.
