Bluebird

Capo 3

[A minorAm]Bluebird on a [C majorC]telephone line.
[D MajorD]How are you? [A minorAm]I'm feeling fine.
[A minorAm]Sweetly do I [E minorEm]whisper your [A minorAm]name.

[A minorAm]Lonely solo [C majorC]taxi ride to a
[D MajorD]cheap motel on the [A minorAm]wrong side of the tracks.
[A minorAm]The facts are [E minorEm]tricky to ex[A minorAm]plain.

[DmDm]Cold front bearing down, [A minorAm]blowing in from
Birmingham.
[DmDm]By dawn the window's wet with icy [A minorAm]rain.
[DmDm]Behind fourteen doors, a [A minorAm]sad parade of
paramours
[A minorAm]are throwing little white rocks at [E minorEm]sorrow's
window [A minorAm]pane.
[A minorAm]Me, I've found someone to [E minorEm]love more than the
[A minorAm]rain.

[A minorAm]Salvation Army [C majorC]ringing bell,
[D MajorD]kingdom come and [A minorAm]wishing wells.
[A minorAm]Hey Santa Claus I [E minorEm]see your junkie [A minorAm]eyes.

[A minorAm]It's the devil and the [C majorC]deep blue sea, with old
[D MajorD]friends I hope I [A minorAm]never see again
;Am]all tangled up with [E minorEm]misery and [A minorAm]lies.

[DmDm]The lonely hiss of passing cars [A minorAm]feeds the ache
of ancient
scars,
[DmDm]like ghosts beneath my bed rattling [A minorAm]chains.
[DmDm]No good luck charm or remedy ever [A minorAm]proved to
soothe my sanity
[A minorAm]nor bad medicine [E minorEm]served to ease my [A minorAm]pain.
[A minorAm]Had to find someone to [E minorEm]love more than the
[A minorAm]rain.

[A minorAm]Now, old habits [C majorC]will die hard.
[D MajorD]This pile of junk setting [A minorAm]in my yard...
[A minorAm]souvenirs from the [E minorEm]wrecking ball of
[A minorAm]dreams.

[A minorAm]You spend a lifetime tearing [C majorC]temples down,
[D MajorD]it gets to feel like [A minorAm]hallowed ground
[A minorAm]is a shallow grave [E minorEm]where ne'er the bluebird
[A minorAm]sings.

[DmDm]Last time home when I played this song, you said
[A minorAm]"Dad, it's
sad, and way too long."
[DmDm]And I pulled you close and held you in my
[A minorAm]arms.
[DmDm]Yes, salvation wears a thin disguise 'cause [A minorAm]I
can see the
heaven in your eyes.
[A minorAm]And I thank God them years I [E minorEm]searched were not
in [A minorAm]vain...
[A minorAm]finally found someone to [E minorEm]love more than the
[A minorAm]rain.
[A minorAm]Bluebird I love you [E minorEm]more than the [A minorAm]rain.
