Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[E] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[B7] I look up to the little bird
That
[E] glides across the
[B7] sky
[B7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[E] makes me want to
[B7] cry
It
[A] makes me want to
[E] sit right down
And
[B7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[B7] I walk along the city streets
So
[E] dark with rage and
[B7] fear
[B7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[E] fly away from
[B7] here
I
[A] wish I had the
[E] wings
To fly a-
[B7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[G#m] my, my, I feel so low
[C#] My, my, where do I go?
[G#m] My, my, what do I know?
[C#] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[E] They always said that you
[G#m] knew best
But
[E] this little bird's fallen
[G#m] out of that nest now
[E] I've got a feeling that it
[G#m] might have been blessed
So
[F#7] I've just got to put these wings to
[B7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[B7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[E] weighted, weighted to the
[B7] ground
[B7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[E] I can lay my burden
[B7] down
Give
[A] me the strength
To
[E] lay this burden
[B7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[A] Give me the
[E] strength to lay it
[B7] down
