Dar Williams - I Saw A augmentedA Bird Fly Away


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: FF

       G+G   A minorAm  E minorEm
I asked the habitual party goer
FF    G+G    C majorC
Just how high she thought she'd get
FF   G+G     A minorAm   E minorEm
And I asked the ethereal girls
  FF     G+G    C majorC
If they were floating yet

CHORUS:
  FF  G+G     A minorAm      E minorEm
And so I asked the light of the day
FF      G+G    A minorAm E minorEm
What's this rush for heaven
  FF    G+G    A minorAm  E minorEm
And I saw a bird fly away__
  FF      G+G  C majorC   FF C majorC  FF C majorC
And I could not ask again


  FF    G+G    A minorAm   E minorEm
The tabloid tainted actress knows
  FF    G+G   C majorC
The myth of higher ground
  FF     G+G    A minorAm    E minorEm
The thing she got from playing a nun
  FF    G+G     C majorC
She got from sleeping around


CHORUS:
  FF  G+G     A minorAm      E minorEm
And so I asked the light of the day
FF      G+G    A minorAm E minorEm
What's this rush for heaven
  FF    G+G    A minorAm  E minorEm
And I saw a bird fly away__
  FF      G+G  C majorC   FF
And I could not ask again
  G+G    A minorAm E minorEm
He fell in the mud and
FF      C majorC
He became enlightened
FF C majorC   A minorAm   C majorC    FF  C majorC
I wonder who's laughing now

  FF     G+G    A minorAm   E minorEm
And I've been running uphill, panting
FF    G+G   C majorC
Punching at the air
FF    G+G      A minorAm     E minorEm
Fighting what's been pushing me down
   FF   G+G   C majorC
Like I can see it there


CHORUS:
  FF  G+G     A minorAm      E minorEm
And so I asked the light of the day
FF      G+G    A minorAm E minorEm
What's this rush for heaven
  FF    G+G    A minorAm  E minorEm
And I saw a bird fly away__
   FF     G+G  C majorC
And I could not ask again


  FF   G+G    A minorAm    E minorEm
And I saw all this climbing, climbing
FF    G+G    C majorC
Just as far from heaven
  FF    G+G    A minorAm  E minorEm
And I saw a bird fly away__
   FF    G+G    C majorC
And I started climbing again


OUTRO:   (## fade to end ##)
    FF G+G A minorAm E minorEm FF C majorC    A minorAm
       E minorEm    FF  G+G C majorC
    Who's laughing now_____
    FF    G+G C majorC
    He fell in the mud and
    FF      C majorC
    He became enlightened
