Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[A] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[E7] I look up to the little bird
That
[A] glides across the
[E7] sky
[E7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[A] makes me want to
[E7] cry
It
[D] makes me want to
[A] sit right down
And
[E7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[E7] I walk along the city streets
So
[A] dark with rage and
[E7] fear
[E7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[A] fly away from
[E7] here
I
[D] wish I had the
[A] wings
To fly a-
[E7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[C#m] my, my, I feel so low
[F#] My, my, where do I go?
[C#m] My, my, what do I know?
[F#] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[A] They always said that you
[C#m] knew best
But
[A] this little bird's fallen
[C#m] out of that nest now
[A] I've got a feeling that it
[C#m] might have been blessed
So
[B7] I've just got to put these wings to
[E7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[E7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[A] weighted, weighted to the
[E7] ground
[E7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[A] I can lay my burden
[E7] down
Give
[D] me the strength
To
[A] lay this burden
[E7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[D] Give me the
[A] strength to lay it
[E7] down
REPEAT CHORUS:
