Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

There's a high flyin' bird, way up in the sky now

Yes and I wonder, if she looks down, as she flies, on by

Well she's riding on the air so easy, in the sky

Lord look at me,

I'm rooted like a tree, yes I am now

I got those sit down, can't cry, oh lord I'm gonna die blues

(verse 2, same chords as above)

Well I used to love a man, He worked in a mine

Well he never saw the sun, but he never stopped tryin'

Well then one day my man, he up and died

My man up and died

My man up and died, oh yes he did now

Well he wanted to fly, and the only way to fly was to die

(repeat 1st verse)

Yeah I'm gonna die now,

I got those sit down, can't cry oh lord I'm gonna die blues

Yes I am, yes I am...
