NOTE: I believe I read somewhere when John Smith plays this song he does it
   in Drop D tuning. This tab was done in standard tuning. If you want to
   please feel free to tune your guitar to Drop D. I personally do not do
   so. Please keep this in mind when playing and rating this tab. Thanks.

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:
Am F C G  Am F C C

VERSE:
    Am    F    C   G
When I met her she was just engaged
   Am  F    C
I was only twenty-three
   Am     F   C    G
She left right when I said hello
   Dm   F C  G
I pursued her in my dreams

   Am   F     C G
And when I found the courage
    Am     F   C
For to speak more than a word
     Am     F    C    G
She was dressed in green and wild as night
   Am   F   C
All like a Hummingbird

Am F C G Am F C


VERSE:
   Am    F     C     G
She stole my heart some more each day
   Am    F    C
She said You should be mine
  Am   F    C    G
We married in her father`s house
  Dm    F C  G
Beneath the autumn sky

 Am   F  C      G
Blissfully I watched her darting
 Am    F   C
Round and out of sight
    Am   F    C    G
And I knew I couldn`t hold on long
    Am    F    C
These hands are much too tight


BREAK:
     Dm7 Dm7 G    F    F
Yes she slips,   there she slides
     Dm7 Dm7 G      F    F
Here she comes   and there she flies

Am F C G Am F C


VERSE:
   Am     F   C   G
She said she`d travel by my side
    Am     F   C
Unless death should do us part
    Am    F    C   G
It was in some crowded city street
    Dm     F C   G
There stopped her beating heart

   Am   F    C    G
So, gone before we made one year
   Am     F     C
Like all good things she passed
   Am  F   C    G
She disappeared into the breeze
   Am    F    C
And flew out for the last

Am F C G Am F C C
Am F C C Bb F


VERSE:
Am    F    C     G
In these times of constant change
   Am   F    C
I`m holding on for you
      Am     F     C     G
You`re the one whose affections I still crave
  Dm   F   C   G
The one my world clings to

      Am    F   C    G
And these words of mine escape my mouth
   Am   F    C
And travel without bounds
  Am      F     C  G
Up through the clouds and into space
   Am   F    C
There run devotion`s sounds

        Am  F C  G   Am    F  C
You can hear them! Woooooh ooooh wooh ooh wooh ooh

      Am    F     C  G Am F C C
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah


BREAK:
     Dm7 Dm7 G     F  F
Yes she slips,  there she slides
     Dm7 Dm7  G    F   F
Here she coooomes there she flies


VERSE:
  Am   F    C   G
If I could be with her again
  Am       F    C
I don`t know what I would say
     Am   F    C    G
But I`ll always know her by her shape
  Dm    F   C  G
Between that night and day

     Am   F   C    G
And she comes to me in glimpses now
  Am   F   C
As fleeting as a word
 Am   F     C  G
Flashes bright and disappears


OUTRO:
  Dm  F G
My darling
C  F   Dm G     Am F C G Am F C C
My darling   Hummingbird.

Am F C G Am F G C
