Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[D] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[A7] I look up to the little bird
That
[D] glides across the
[A7] sky
[A7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[D] makes me want to
[A7] cry
It
[G] makes me want to
[D] sit right down
And
[A7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[A7] I walk along the city streets
So
[D] dark with rage and
[A7] fear
[A7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[D] fly away from
[A7] here
I
[G] wish I had the
[D] wings
To fly a-
[A7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[F#m] my, my, I feel so low
[B] My, my, where do I go?
[F#m] My, my, what do I know?
[B] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[D] They always said that you
[F#m] knew best
But
[D] this little bird's fallen
[F#m] out of that nest now
[D] I've got a feeling that it
[F#m] might have been blessed
So
[E7] I've just got to put these wings to
[A7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[A7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[D] weighted, weighted to the
[A7] ground
[A7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[D] I can lay my burden
[A7] down
Give
[G] me the strength
To
[D] lay this burden
[A7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[G] Give me the
[D] strength to lay it
[A7] down
