I Saw A Bird Fly Away(Chords)

	        


nd Fret 



Intro: F  

              G      Am    Em 
I asked the habitual party goer 
F        G        C 
Just how high she thought she'd get 
F     G          Am      Em 
And I asked the ethereal girls  
   F         G        C 
If they were floating yet 


    F    G         Am           Em 
And so I asked the light of the day 
F           G        Am Em 
What's this rush for heaven 
    F       G        Am   Em 
And I saw a bird fly away__ 
    F           G    C      F  C    F  C 
And I could not ask again 



    F       G       Am      Em 
The tabloid tainted actress knows  
    F       G      C 
The myth of higher ground 
    F         G        Am        Em 
The thing she got from playing a nun 
    F        G         C 
She got from sleeping around 



    F    G         Am           Em 
And so I asked the light of the day 
F           G        Am Em 
What's this rush for heaven 
    F       G        Am   Em 
And I saw a bird fly away__ 
    F           G    C      F  
And I could not ask again 
   G       Am  Em 
He fell in the mud and 
F           C 
He became enlightened 
F C     Am     C        F   C   
I wonder who's laughing now 



    F         G       Am      Em 
And I've been running uphill, panting 
F        G      C 
Punching at the air 
F        G           Am         Em 
Fighting what's been pushing me down 
     F     G      C 
Like I can see it there 


    F    G         Am           Em 
And so I asked the light of the day 
F           G        Am Em 
What's this rush for heaven 
    F       G        Am   Em 
And I saw a bird fly away__ 
      F         G    C      
And I could not ask again 


    F     G        Am        Em 
And I saw all this climbing, climbing 
F       G        C 
Just as far from heaven 
    F       G        Am   Em 
And I saw a bird fly away__ 
      F       G        C 
And I started climbing again 



OUTRO:      (## fade to end ##) 
       F  G  Am  Em  F  C       Am  
             Em       F   G  C 
       Who's laughing now_____ 
       F       G  C 
       He fell in the mud and 
       F           C       
       He became enlightened
