Bird Of The Summer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A D A

 You cAame with the season, as the first swallow sang

A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name

 doooDdoBmodoAo

 We plAanted our kisses where the wild berries grow

my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home

 dooDodBmoodAoo

 My chF♯meeks red like fDire engines rAacing

 strF♯maight to the hDeat of your skAin

 and I knF♯mow our days are nDumbered,

 early bAird of the sDummer

 you'll fly sAouth just as the fEall begAins

 The lAeaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled

My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill

 dooDodBmoodAoo

 You sAent me a postcard from a town out of state,

I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same

 dooDodBmoodAoo

 The fF♯mields where we wDandered were gAolden

 Now F♯monly mDuddy my bAoots

 and I knF♯mow I should recDover,

 you're a bAird of the sDummer,

 I was wrAong to try and cEapture yAou

 GF♯mone is the pDale hand of wAinter

 HF♯mere is the fDirst flush of mAay

 And sF♯moon I will discDover

 whether bAirds of the sDummer

 fly in cAircles or just flEy awAay
