Sunbird
D.................................……Bmi...................
Do you remember me, that snowy bird so free (Internal rhyme..me and free)
....…G..........................................…….Emi/A...A
One day you sat and cried beneath my perch
D.........................................…...Bmi...............................
You sang a lonesome song about how your love went wrong (more internal rhyme..song-wrong)
..........…Emi........................…..A.................D....Ami...Ab..
And you wished that you could fly away with me
......G...........................….Gmi....................
But that was long ago and how I loved you so (internal rhyme - ago-so and “know” in the next line)
......D.....................…..C....................….B...
You couldn’t know just how a bird could feel
...….Emi.........................….Emi/D...............
And now my life is thru but Annie I loved you (love those internal rhymes! –thru-you)
......…Emi/C#.............…A7...............…..D.....G/A
I just wanted to let you know I’m doing fine
Chorus
.......A7.….D...D/F#......….G........................
Now I’m a sunbird I don’t even miss the snow (a)
Emi........….A7.......................…….D.......................….G/A...
Here in my world I’ve found more love then you could know (a)
...A7..D...D/F#......….G......................…..C7
A tiny sunbird sailing carefree and brand new (b)
...…Emi.........A7....................…….Emi..A7...........D...
But if I had a choice I would have run away with you (b)
second verse..same chords....
That time that you met me you thought I was so free
It’s funny how a person never knows
Cause later on that day when you were far away
An angle sent from heaven clipped my wings
And as a lay below shivering in the snow
I wished that I could hear your little tune
But I was so afraid and when life’s ending came
It took me suddenly to a new world beyond time
Chorus
Now I’m a sunbird I don’t even miss the snow
Here in my world I’ve found more love then you could know
A tiny sunbird sailing carefree and brand new
But if I had a choice I would have run away with you
Bridge
