Bird Of The Summer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A D A

You cAame with the season, as the first swallow sang

A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name

doooDdoBmodoAo

We plAanted our kisses where the wild berries grow

my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home

dooDodBmoodAoo

My chF♯meeks red like fDire engines rAacing

strF♯maight to the hDeat of your skAin

and I knF♯mow our days are nDumbered,

early bAird of the sDummer

you'll fly sAouth just as the fEall begAins

The lAeaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled

My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill

dooDodBmoodAoo

You sAent me a postcard from a town out of state,

I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same

dooDodBmoodAoo

The fF♯mields where we wDandered were gAolden

Now F♯monly mDuddy my bAoots

and I knF♯mow I should recDover,

you're a bAird of the sDummer,

I was wrAong to try and cEapture yAou

GF♯mone is the pDale hand of wAinter

HF♯mere is the fDirst flush of mAay

And sF♯moon I will discDover

whether bAirds of the sDummer

fly in cAircles or just flEy awAay
