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