Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Verse 1:
Bb Eb
Oh, you made me an actress on your screen
Bb F
See, I'm closing in on Aberdeen
Gm Eb
But the snow's all gone and the grass is green
Bb F
Unlike it was before
Bb Eb
When I left you late at night for the northern roads
Bb F
The old abandoned winter clothes
Gm Eb
Mike was in the back and you swore he'd know
Bb F
Just how to get us out
Bb Eb
And I thought it was a lover's prayer
Bb F
I said for you when I was there
Gm Eb
But the sacred fire burned my hair
Bb F
Before it hit the ground
Chorus:
Eb Gm Bb
It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Eb
Oh, it's a red bird morning
Bb F
The saddest sight I've ever seen
Verse 2:
Bb Eb
See me smoking on a cigarette
Bb F
Same kind that took our nana's breath
Gm Eb
It's the only flame that I have left
Bb F
Will it be the death of me?
Bb Eb
If you see two red birds in the dew
Bb F
It's our loved ones there to be with you
Gm Eb
It's the only way you'd love me too
Bb F
So I'll burn another down
Chorus:
Eb Gm Bb
It's a red bird morning in Aberdeen
Eb
Oh, it's a red bird morning
Bb F
The saddest sight I've ever seen
