Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[C] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[G7] I look up to the little bird
That
[C] glides across the
[G7] sky
[G7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[C] makes me want to
[G7] cry
It
[F] makes me want to
[C] sit right down
And
[G7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[G7] I walk along the city streets
So
[C] dark with rage and
[G7] fear
[G7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[C] fly away from
[G7] here
I
[F] wish I had the
[C] wings
To fly a-
[G7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[Em] my, my, I feel so low
[A] My, my, where do I go?
[Em] My, my, what do I know?
[A] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[C] They always said that you
[Em] knew best
But
[C] this little bird's fallen
[Em] out of that nest now
[C] I've got a feeling that it
[Em] might have been blessed
So
[D7] I've just got to put these wings to
[G7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[G7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[C] weighted, weighted to the
[G7] ground
[G7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[C] I can lay my burden
[G7] down
Give
[F] me the strength
To
[C] lay this burden
[G7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[F] Give me the
[C] strength to lay it
[G7] down
