Chords with lyrics

Capo 4

Start with C majorC (changing bass note from C majorC to G+G while fingerpicking)


[Verse 1]

C majorC
Some birds fly south
   E minorEm
Some birds stay at home
   C majorC      C7C7
Some birds flock together
FF
Some birds fly alone
                     C majorC               G+G
There's been red headed, blond feathered, long legged birds I've come to know

And some have flown

[Verse 2]

          C majorC
Then there's those hell of a time birds
  E minorEm
And just for tonight birds
C majorC        C7C7
Bring em' pretty flowers and

FF
Payed for by the hour
         C majorC
No I'm not one for praying
  G+G              C majorC
But there's one bird I'm waiting on


[Chorus]

    A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
She's a straaaaaange bird
A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
Straaaaaange bird

DmDm    E minorEm FF
Somewhere up higher
   DmDm   E minorEm  FF G+G   C majorC
She's singing on a wire for me

[Verse 3]

    C majorC
Oh I've longed for other songs
     E minorEm
Yes I've even hummed along
      C majorC     C7C7       FF
Played the field and even played the fool
                   C majorC
Oh but somewhere all alone there's a bird that sings my song
   G+G           C majorC
She's wild and lonesome and blue


[Chorus]

    A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
She's a straaaaaange bird
A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
Straaaaaange bird

DmDm    E minorEm FF
Somewhere up higher
   DmDm   E minorEm  FF G+G   C majorC
She's singing on a wire for me


And she sings
(whistled melody while playing C, Em, C, C7, F, C, G, C majorC)


[Chorus]

    A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
She's a straaaaaange bird
A minorAm E minorEm FF   C majorC
Straaaaaange bird

DmDm    E minorEm FF
Somewhere up higher
   DmDm   E minorEm   FF
She's singing like a choir
DmDm   E minorEm  FF G+G   C majorC
Pretty on a wire for me


[Outro]
