Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[G] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[D7] I look up to the little bird
That
[G] glides across the
[D7] sky
[D7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[G] makes me want to
[D7] cry
It
[C] makes me want to
[G] sit right down
And
[D7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[D7] I walk along the city streets
So
[G] dark with rage and
[D7] fear
[D7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[G] fly away from
[D7] here
I
[C] wish I had the
[G] wings
To fly a-
[D7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[Bm] my, my, I feel so low
[E] My, my, where do I go?
[Bm] My, my, what do I know?
[E] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[G] They always said that you
[Bm] knew best
But
[G] this little bird's fallen
[Bm] out of that nest now
[G] I've got a feeling that it
[Bm] might have been blessed
So
[A7] I've just got to put these wings to
[D7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[D7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[G] weighted, weighted to the
[D7] ground
[D7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[G] I can lay my burden
[D7] down
Give
[C] me the strength
To
[G] lay this burden
[D7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[C] Give me the
[G] strength to lay it
[D7] down
