Herman Brood - Sleepin' Bird

D MajorD       play these chords
G+G   D MajorD A augmentedA   four times


G+G                   B minorBm
He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey
A augmentedA            F#F#
ridin' the desert for a million miles a day
G minorGm            B minorBm
And there ain't no barricades anymore
A augmentedA              F#F#
between the mountains and the very floor

G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood
G+G         D MajorD     A augmentedA
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)

Chorus:
D MajorD         G+G   D MajorD   A augmentedA
Never seen, he was never heard
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA
passin' by like a sleepin' bird

G+G                         B minorBm
He took his time, when they shot him through the head
A augmentedA                 F#F#
before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead
G+G             B minorBm
one day someone is gonna plead against your name
A augmentedA                  F#F#
he won't mark if you win or lose, or how you'll play the game
G+G            D MajorD         A augmentedA
One day someone is gonna plead against your style
G+G             D MajorD        A augmentedA
So uptight - he just can't take away your smile
he was

Chorus:
D MajorD         G+G   D MajorD   A augmentedA \
Never seen, he was never heard  \
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA  play twice
passin' by like a sleepin' bird  /

G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA
Dark spot as he quits the neighbourhood
G+G         D MajorD     A augmentedA
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

Solo (play the following chords twice):
D MajorD

G+G          D MajorD        A augmentedA
Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin' down
G+G        D MajorD          A augmentedA
skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round

Chorus:
D MajorD         G+G   D MajorD   A augmentedA \
Never seen, he was never heard  \
D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD  A augmentedA  play until the song fades out
