Annie Lennox, Little Bird (1992)
Key: :[F] (w: Annie Lennox)
VERSE 1:
[C7] I look up to the little bird
That
[F] glides across the
[C7] sky
[C7] He sings the clearest melody
It
[F] makes me want to
[C7] cry
It
[A#] makes me want to
[F] sit right down
And
[C7] cry, cry, cry, yeah
VERSE 2:
[C7] I walk along the city streets
So
[F] dark with rage and
[C7] fear
[C7] And I, I wish that I could be that bird
And
[F] fly away from
[C7] here
I
[A#] wish I had the
[F] wings
To fly a-
[C7]-way from here, yeah
CHORUS:
But
[Am] my, my, I feel so low
[D] My, my, where do I go?
[Am] My, my, what do I know?
[D] My, my, we reap what we sow
BRIDGE:
[F] They always said that you
[Am] knew best
But
[F] this little bird's fallen
[Am] out of that nest now
[F] I've got a feeling that it
[Am] might have been blessed
So
[G7] I've just got to put these wings to
[C7] test
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
[C7] For I am just a troubled soul
Who's
[F] weighted, weighted to the
[C7] ground
[C7] Give me the strength to carry on
Till
[F] I can lay my burden
[C7] down
Give
[A#] me the strength
To
[F] lay this burden
[C7] down, down down yeah
BREAK:
[A#] Give me the
[F] strength to lay it
[C7] down
