Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[F#] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[C#7] I look up to the little bird
That
[F#] glides across the
[C#7] sky
[C#7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[F#] makes me want to
[C#7] cry
It
[B] makes me want to
[F#] sit right down
And
[C#7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[C#7] I walk along the city streets
So
[F#] dark with rage and
[C#7] fear
[C#7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[F#] fly away from
[C#7] here
I
[B] wish I had the
[F#] wings
To fly a-
[C#7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[A#m] my, my, I feel so low
[D#] My, my, where do I go?
[A#m] My, my, what do I know?
[D#] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[F#] They always said that you
[A#m] knew best
But
[F#] this little bird's fallen
[A#m] out of that nest now
[F#] I've got a feeling that it
[A#m] might have been blessed
So
[G#7] I've just got to put these wings to
[C#7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[C#7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[F#] weighted, weighted to the
[C#7] ground
[C#7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[F#] I can lay my burden
[C#7] down
Give
[B] me the strength
To
[F#] lay this burden
[C#7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[B] Give me the
[F#] strength to lay it
[C#7] down
