Fish And Bird chords by Tom Waits

FISH AND BIRD

   Eb    Bb      Eb
They bought a round for the sailor
     Ab    Bb
and they heard his tale
   Eb           Ab
of a world that was so far away
   Bb       Eb  Ab
And a song that we’d never heard
 Bb    Eb   Ab
A song of a little bird
       Bb     Eb   Bb
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   Eb7/Db Ab/C
Oh, please don’t cry
    F  Cm/Eb Bb/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
