Verse 1:
Bb majorBb           Bbmaj7Bbmaj7     G minorGm   Bb majorBb
Wandering through the living desert seeking a limb
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb           DbDb    Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
That I could rest my head upon and let my thoughts begin
C minorCm           G minorGm    DmDm     GbGb   Eb MajorEb
I'd never seen another feather before so elaborately patterned
GbGb       AbAb
My senses were shattered to the floor

Bb majorBb           Bbmaj7Bbmaj7     G minorGm       Bb majorBb
I asked it what its name was and it answered with ease
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb           DbDb   G minorGm
As it swung itself in rhythm through a crack in the breeze
C minorCm               G minorGm    DmDm
But did it understand my reason for crying
GbGb           AbAb       Bb majorBb
When it shot through a hole in the sky?

Chorus:
Bb majorBb
And haven't you heard?
DbDb           AbAb
The Fire-Tree Bird is leaving today
GbGb       Eb MajorEb
(What did you say?)

Bb majorBb           DbDb
He's losing his mind, and leaving behind
AbAb
A augmentedA fiery world
GbGb   Eb MajorEb
(It's so absurd)

DbDb           Eb MajorEb
But if you'd prefer, The Fire-Tree Bird
AbAb   GbGb   DbDb   AbAb
Was only a part of your mind
AbAb   GbGb       F minorFm       Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Seek and then maybe you'll find yet another one
GbGb   DbDb       Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
(Make no mistake for Fire-Tree's sake)


Verse 2:
 Bb majorBb           Bbmaj7Bbmaj7 G minorGm   Bb majorBb
Searching to the end of every rope in the stars
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb       DbDb    Eb MajorEb  G minorGm
But it didn't leave a note or send a heavenly card
C minorCm       G minorGm    DmDm
I read the patterns apprehending the wall
GbGb       Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Was I searching for feathers on the fall?

Chorus:
Bb majorBb
And haven't you heard?
DbDb           AbAb
The Fire-Tree Bird is leaving today
GbGb       Eb MajorEb
(What did you say?)

Bb majorBb           DbDb
He's losing his mind, and leaving behind
AbAb
A augmentedA fiery world
GbGb   Eb MajorEb
(It's so absurd)

DbDb           Eb MajorEb
But if you'd prefer, The Fire-Tree Bird
AbAb   GbGb   DbDb   AbAb
Was only a part of your mind
AbAb   GbGb       F minorFm       Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Seek and then maybe you'll find yet another one
GbGb   DbDb       Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
(Make no mistake for sanity's sake)
