Ebm        Ab
Ray decided to be silly after all,
  Ebm             Ab
He died a thousand times in the Viet war,
Ebm               Ab
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances,
F#          Ab
Into the valley of the bird absurd,

Ebm                Ab
I don't remember what it was the old man said,
  Ebm               Ab
I know I'd tempted fate a thousand times before,
Ebm                Ab
So we strapped ourselves in and we took some chances,
F#           Ab
And had a fight for the brother who can be,

Ebm  Ab
Birdman,
        Ebm   Ab
Looking for the waste land,
       Ebm   Ab
Try'na get me face tanned,
           F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
             Ab
We're flying through the valley of the birds,

Ebm            Ab
We decided all for all and all for one,
  Ebm           Ab
And when I do I really wanna go in style,
Ebm             Ab
So without a sense of reason we explored life,
F#              Ab
Like throwing stoned into the great unknown of

Ebm  Ab
Birdman,
        Ebm   Ab
Looking for the waste land,
       Ebm   Ab
Try'na get me face tanned,
           F#
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
             Ab
We're flying through the valley of the birds.
