Majesty Snowbird

• F

This version was played at the Crystal Ball Room in Portland 

Tuning: Standard 




This is the part which is played initially by the piano, then the trumpet and finally 
it's the guitar solo towards the end. They are all pretty much the exact same thing so I  
will tab it once here so you can do what you like with it. It's always played when the chords are F Am G G

Intro 
F Am G G x8 


{Verse} 

F           C                  Am                D 

    Rain bird, laughing in the olive tree, la la dee dah 
F             C                       Am              D 
    Colored shirt, with the alabaster altarpiece, you made for me 
F             C 
    Summer sweet, some forgiven 
    Am              D                               F 
    Your advice is all that seems to matter much to me 
              C                          Am       D 
    Call it sweet, call it something paradise 

     
{Chorus}    
          F             C         Am               D 
Is it the right word              you designed for me? 
          F             C         Am               D 
Is it the broken word             or good advice i need? 
          F             C         Am            D 
Is the half as sweet              set aside for me? 
          F             C         Am                        D 
Is it mysterious?                  is it something ripe and sweet? 


F Am G G x4 

{Verse - F C Am D 
Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee dah 
Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la dee dah 
Quiet sound, and little soldier sent beneath 
And epaulets that covered every shoulder 
Call it sweet come take 
Forget the things I said, to please 


{Chorus - F C Am D 
Is it the right word you designed for me? 
Is it the broken word or good advice i need? 
Is the tapestry set beneath my wings? 
Is it mysterious, glorious? Indeed. 

F Am G G x4

    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place 
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place 
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place

    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place 
    Quiet room, i  need  you  now…
