Fire-tree Bird chords by Bryan Scary And The Shredding Tears

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Bb                      Bbmaj7         Gm     Bb
Wandering through the living desert seeking a limb
Eb                      Bb                     Db       Eb    Bb
That I could rest my head upon and let my thoughts begin
Cm                      Gm        Dm          Gb     Eb
I'd never seen another feather before so elaborately patterned
Gb              Ab
My senses were shattered to the floor

Bb                      Bbmaj7         Gm             Bb
I asked it what its name was and it answered with ease
Eb                      Bb                     Db     Gm
As it swung itself in rhythm through a crack in the breeze
Cm                              Gm        Dm
But did it understand my reason for crying
Gb                      Ab             Bb
When it shot through a hole in the sky?

Chorus:
Bb
And haven't you heard?
Db                      Ab
The Fire-Tree Bird is leaving today
Gb              Eb
(What did you say?)

Bb                      Db
He's losing his mind, and leaving behind
Ab
A fiery world
Gb      Eb
(It's so absurd)

Db                      Eb
But if you'd prefer, The Fire-Tree Bird
Ab      Gb     Db     Ab
Was only a part of your mind
Ab      Gb             Fm             Bb     Eb
Seek and then maybe you'll find yet another one
Gb      Db             Eb     Bb
(Make no mistake for Fire-Tree's sake)


Verse 2:
 Bb                     Bbmaj7 Gm     Bb
Searching to the end of every rope in the stars
Eb                      Bb             Db       Eb    Gm
But it didn't leave a note or send a heavenly card
Cm              Gm        Dm
I read the patterns apprehending the wall
Gb              Eb             Bb
Was I searching for feathers on the fall?


Chorus:
Bb
And haven't you heard?
Db                      Ab
The Fire-Tree Bird is leaving today
Gb              Eb
(What did you say?)

Bb                      Db
He's losing his mind, and leaving behind
Ab
A fiery world
Gb      Eb
(It's so absurd)

Db                      Eb
But if you'd prefer, The Fire-Tree Bird
Ab      Gb     Db     Ab
Was only a part of your mind
Ab      Gb             Fm             Bb     Eb
Seek and then maybe you'll find yet another one
Gb      Db             Eb     Bb
(Make no mistake for sanity's sake)
