Bird Song — The Wailin' Jennys
Chords and lyrics for Bird Song by The Wailin' Jennys (key of A).
Verse 1
[A]I hear a bird chirping up in the [E]sky,
[A]I'd like to be free like that, [E]spread my wings so [A]high.
[A]I see the river flowing, water running [E]by,
[A]I'd like to be that river, [E]see what I might [A]find.
[D]I feel the wind a-blowing, [A]slowly changing time,
I'd like to be that wind, I'd [E]swirl and shape the [A]sky.
[D]I smell the flowers blooming, [A]opening for spring,
I'd like to be those flowers, [E]open to [A]everything.
[A]I feel the seasons change: the leaves, the snow and [E]sun.
[A]I'd like to be those seasons, [E]made up and [A]undone.
[A]I taste the living earth, the seeds that grow [E]within,
[A]I'd like to be that earth, a [E]home where life [A]begins.
[D]I see the moon a-rising, [A]reaching into night,
I'd like to be that moon, a [E]knowing, glowing [A]light.
[D]I know the silence as the [A]world begins to wake,
I'd like to be that silence [E]as the morning [A]breaks.
[A]I hear a bird chirping up in the [E]sky,
[A]I'd like to be free like that, [E]spread my wings so [A]high.
[A]I see the river flowing, water running [E]by,
[A]I'd like to be that river, [E]see what I might [A]find.
[D]I feel the wind a-blowing, [A]slowly changing time,
I'd like to be that wind, I'd [E]swirl and shape the [A]sky.
[D]I smell the flowers blooming, [A]opening for spring,
I'd like to be those flowers, [E]open to [A]everything.
