Foy Vance – Homebird


Intro:
C Bm Am Em Dm C Bm
C Bm Am Dm C Bm * A * G


Verse:
C                   Bm        Am                Em
The orange was the size of a watermelon to me,
Dm       C               Bm
Well at least that is my memory.
C                Bm         Am
Sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road,
Dm  C Bm *   A *   G
Far a-way we'd roam.

C      Bm             Am                    Em
I'd be howling out a song in the back seat,
Dm             C          Bm
The boys would laugh and tease about my black feet.
C           G                  Am
They'd tell stories that would warm my soul,

Bridge:

Dm C   Bm *     A *  A **    G **
Mo-tor-bikes and chrome,
G **           D
Jimmy could not wait to get home.

Chorus:
C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
G **                Bm
Fly me high on an angel's wing.

C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
A **    G **  F      Am       G **  D C
Leave out nothing, tell me everything.


Interlude:
C Bm Am Em Dm C Bm

Verse:
C       Bm                    Am                Em
Everywhere we went just looked the same to me,
Dm          C                  Bm
The skies were blue and the grass was green,
C                  Bm            Am
I wonder how different I might see them now,
Dm  C Bm *   A *   G
Yet I see them somehow.

C      Bm             Am                    Em
Through the fallen memories when that angel baby sings,
Dm               C            Bm
Oh the little magic that his solo brings,
C           Bm                  Am
Making up songs and words and singing from the soul,

Bridge:
Dm C   Bm *     A *  A **   G **
Oh the stories told,
G **           D
None but him and Jimmy could know.

Chorus:
C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
G **                Bm
Fly me high on an angel's wing.

C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
A **    G **  F      Am       G **  D C
Leave out nothing, tell me everything.

C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
G **                Bm
Fly me high on an angel's wing.

C *   Bm *       A **      G ** A **
    hoome - homebird sing,
A **    G **  F      Am       G **  D C
