Standard (EADGBE)

There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

hanging by a thread from the sky

there’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her life upside down and inside out

(Chorus)

Hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

through the night

to the morning light

There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her voice echoes loud in my mind

there’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her cries crystal clear cutting through the sky

(Chorus)

Hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

through the night

to the morning light

Will she sing me through the night

take me to the morning light

will she sing me through the night

to the light

to the morning light

There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

hanging by a thread from the sky

and even though the sky is as black as ink

the world turned off

still she sings

yeah, she sings
