The Birds – Timmy Keenan 25 JUN 2019

[VERSE 1]
I’d been [D]round for a while, it was [A7]brief but was [G]long
I’d sang [D]many a tune, some were [A7]weak, some were [G]strong
But my [D]voice it grew soft and had [Bm]begun to [G]die
Till The [D]Birds they flew in and I [A7]started to [D]fly

[CHORUS 1]
Oh The [D]Birds they sung in good [A7]harmo[D]ny
Oh The [G]Birds had flown in and had [D]come unto me
With a [Bm]whistle and tune, I’ll re[A7]member it [G]well
Oh The [D]Birds had flown in and had [A7]casted a [D]spell

[VERSE 2]
With a [D]piano sound to [A7]accompa[G]ny
And [D]slide on guitar and some [A7]old timey [G]glee
And a [D]fiddling stomp and a [Bm]claw hammer [G]note
With the [D]rhythm guitar, it was [A7]all that she [D]wrote

[CHORUS 2]
Oh The [D]Birds they sung and the [A7]mantle did [D]shake
With the [G]wild free sound like they’d [D]flown off the lake
They were [Bm]always in tune, and they [A7]always sung [G]well
Oh The [D]Birds had flown in and our [A7]doldrums did [D]spell

[VERSE 3]
We sang [D]Hallelujah to the [A7]darkness of [G]night
Songs about [D]heartache and the [A7]men who did [G]fight
About [D]fleeing the dark to get [Bm]into the [G]light
And the [D]chorus did echo as The [A7]Birds did take [D]flight

[CHORUS 3]
Oh The [D]Birds they belted that [A7]melod[D]y
Oh The [G]Birds had perched and they’d [D]come unto me
With a [Bm]chirp and a whistle, that I’ll [A7]never [G]forget
Now I’ll [D]sing all my songs without [A7]any re[D]gret

[VERSE 4]
But at the [D]chill of autumn, The [A7]Birds must fly [G]south
For the [D]cold of the winter, it [A7]hinders their [G]mouth
I’ll [D]always remember but [Bm]await their [G]return
For the [D]songs of the springtime my [A7]heart it does [D]yearn

[CHORUS 4]
Oh The [D]Birds have gone south, I’ve a [A7]tear in me [D]eye
But the [G]music they brought well it [D]taught me to fly
But the [Bm]songs and they tunes, they’ll [A7]live on in [G]me
Oh The [D]Birds they sang in sweet [A7]harmo[D]ny
Oh The [D]Birds they sang in sweet [A7]harmo[D]ny
