Chords with lyrics

CAPO 3

VERSE 1
C majorC     A minorAm   D MajorD  G+G   D MajorD        E minorEm  (lick1)
 Well, I saw a bird today --- flying from a bush
C majorC     A minorAm      D MajorD (lick2)
 and the wind blew it away.
     B minorBm    E MajorE    A augmentedA   C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
And the black-eyed mother sun scorched the butterfly at play
(lick3)   D MajorD   B minorBm    E MajorE  (lick4a)
--- velvet veined. I saw it burn.
C majorC     A minorAm        G+G  (lick5) FF     Fsus2Fsus2   DmDm   C majorC
 With a wintry storm-blown sigh,    a silver cloud blew right on by.
          G+G  E minorEm    D MajorD       G+G G/F# E minorEm (lick1)
And, taking in the morning, I sang --- O Requiem.

VERSE 2
C majorC     A minorAm  D MajorD   G+G
 Well, my lady told me, ''Stay.''
    D MajorD         E minorEm  (lick1) C majorC A minorAm        D MajorD  (lick2)
I looked aside and walked away ---       along the Strand.
   B minorBm   E MajorE   A augmentedA      C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
But I didn't say a word, as the train time-table blurred
(lick3)     D MajorD  B minorBm      E MajorE  (lick4b)
--- close  behind  the taxi stand.
C majorC          A minorAm         G+G   (lick5)
 Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.
FF         Fsus2Fsus2  DmDm     C majorC
 Fading into the traffic; watched her go.
         G+G  E minorEm      C majorC  D MajorD         G+G
And taking in the morning, heard myself singing --- O Requiem.
G+G  G/F# E minorEm   (lick1)
Here I go again. It's the same old story.
