Bird Of The Summer

• A

(Intro) A  D  A 

     A 
You came with the season  as the first swallow sang 
A brown headed stranger  with a five-letter name 
    D Bm A 
dooodoodoo 

     A 
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow 
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home 
   D Bm A 
dooodoodoo 

     F#m            D            A 
My cheeks red like fire engines racing 
   F#m           D             A 
straight to the heat of your skin 
        F#m              D 
and I know our days are numbered  
       A           D 
early bird of the summer 
            A                 E      A 
you'll fly south just as the fall begins 

     A 
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled 
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill 
   D Bm A 
dooodoodoo 

     A 
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state  
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same 
   D Bm A 
dooodoodoo 

     F#m             D             A 
The fields where we wandered were golden 
    F#m   D        A 
Now only muddy my boots 
        F#m            D 
and I know I should recover  
          A           D 
you're a bird of the summer  
        A               E       A 
I was wrong to try and capture you 

( A   D   A )  (2x) 

F#m   E   Bm   D   A   D 
Flight 
F#m   E   Bm   D   A   D 
Flight 

( A ) 
( D   E   A ) (2x) 

 F#m         D            A 
Gone is the pale hand of winter 
 F#m         D              A 
Here is the first flush of may 
     F#m            D 
And soon I will discover 
         A            D 
whether birds of the summer 
        A                E   A 
fly in circles or just fly away
