FISH AND BIRD

   Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
They bought a round for the sailor
     AbAb    Bb majorBb
and they heard his tale
   Eb MajorEb           AbAb
of a world that was so far away
   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb  AbAb
And a song that we’d never heard
 Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb   AbAb
A augmentedA song of a little bird
       Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
that fell in love with a whale

He said: You cannot live in the ocean
And she said to him:
You never can live in the sky
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
and there’s a whale in the moon when it’s clear
and a bird on the tide

  Eb MajorEb   Eb7/Db Ab/C
Oh, please don’t cry
    FF  Cm/Eb Bb/DBb/D
Let me dry your eyes

So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I’ll never sail back to the time
But I’ll always pretend you’re mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart

Oh, please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes

And tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I’ll never sail back to the time
But I’ll always pretend that you’re mine
I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart
