Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[A#] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[F7] I look up to the little bird
That
[A#] glides across the
[F7] sky
[F7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[A#] makes me want to
[F7] cry
It
[D#] makes me want to
[A#] sit right down
And
[F7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[F7] I walk along the city streets
So
[A#] dark with rage and
[F7] fear
[F7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[A#] fly away from
[F7] here
I
[D#] wish I had the
[A#] wings
To fly a-
[F7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[Dm] my, my, I feel so low
[G] My, my, where do I go?
[Dm] My, my, what do I know?
[G] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[A#] They always said that you
[Dm] knew best
But
[A#] this little bird's fallen
[Dm] out of that nest now
[A#] I've got a feeling that it
[Dm] might have been blessed
So
[C7] I've just got to put these wings to
[F7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[F7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[A#] weighted, weighted to the
[F7] ground
[F7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[A#] I can lay my burden
[F7] down
Give
[D#] me the strength
To
[A#] lay this burden
[F7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[D#] Give me the
[A#] strength to lay it
[F7] down
REPEAT CHORUS:
