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