Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[D#] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[A#7] I look up to the little bird
That
[D#] glides across the
[A#7] sky
[A#7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[D#] makes me want to
[A#7] cry
It
[G#] makes me want to
[D#] sit right down
And
[A#7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[A#7] I walk along the city streets
So
[D#] dark with rage and
[A#7] fear
[A#7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[D#] fly away from
[A#7] here
I
[G#] wish I had the
[D#] wings
To fly a-
[A#7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[Gm] my, my, I feel so low
[C] My, my, where do I go?
[Gm] My, my, what do I know?
[C] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[D#] They always said that you
[Gm] knew best
But
[D#] this little bird's fallen
[Gm] out of that nest now
[D#] I've got a feeling that it
[Gm] might have been blessed
So
[F7] I've just got to put these wings to
[A#7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[A#7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[D#] weighted, weighted to the
[A#7] ground
[A#7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[D#] I can lay my burden
[A#7] down
Give
[G#] me the strength
To
[D#] lay this burden
[A#7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[G#] Give me the
[D#] strength to lay it
[A#7] down
