Artist: Marty Stuart
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2nd fret
I'm not too sure about the chorus here, the video I'm watching is poor quality and
doesn't always show his left hand, and my guitar's out of action right now, so I'm
doing this completely by ear and what I can see from the YouTube video. If you've
got any corrections, please post them.
Intro: [A]
[A]On a cool September mornin', in the fall of 2'03,
[A]A crier from Jerusalem bro[E]ught the news to [A]me.
His wo[D7]rds were sharp and dreaded, and they made a lonesome sound,
And they sn[A]apped my heart in two, like a stick stepped on the ground.
And I cr[E]ied and cried and cried, at the cutting of the pain,
And qu[A]ietly said goodbye, so lo[E]ng in Jesus' na[A]me.
Dark bi[G]rd, watch you f[A]ly,
Dark bi[G]rd, to another s[A]ky.
And I'll b[C]et you were a sight, when you h[D7]it that cloud of love,
And flew o[A]ut the other side, in the f[E]orm of a d[A]ove.
Dark bi[A]rd, dark bird.
[A]Six feet one and a box of steel, in a pretty coat of black,
[A]Well I watched the world, watch themselves, wa[E]tch your final a[A]ct.
And I co[D7]uldn't help but notice, when they laid you in the earth,
A tr[A]ain went by, headed north, for whatever it is worth.
Your voice ec[D7]hoes in the wind, it rumbles through the trees,
But af[A]ter you've been everywhere, I gu[E]ess it's time to le[A]ave.
Dark bi[G]rd, watch you f[A]ly,
Dark bi[G]rd, to another s[A]ky.
And I'll b[C]et you were a sight, when you h[D7]it that cloud of love,
And flew o[A]ut the other side, in the f[E]orm of a d[A]ove.
Dark bi[A]rd, dark bird.
Da[G]rk b[A]ird.
