Capo 2
Intro: A
A
On a cool September mornin', in the fall of 2'03,
A E A
A crier from Jerusalem brought the news to me.
D7
His words were sharp and dreaded, and they made a lonesome sound,
A
And they snapped my heart in two, like a stick stepped on the ground.
E
And I cried and cried and cried, at the cutting of the pain,
A E A
And quietly said goodbye, so long in Jesus' name.
G A
Dark bird, watch you fly,
G A
Dark bird, to another sky.
C D7
And I'll bet you were a sight, when you hit that cloud of love,
A E A
And flew out the other side, in the form of a dove.
A
Dark bird, dark bird.
Six feet one and a box of steel, in a pretty coat of black,
Well I watched the world, watch themselves, watch your final act.
And I couldn't help but notice, when they laid you in the earth,
A train went by, headed north, for whatever it is worth.
Your voice echoes in the wind, it rumbles through the trees,
But after you've been everywhere, I guess it's time to leave.
Dark bird, watch you fly,
Dark bird, to another sky.
And I'll bet you were a sight, when you hit that cloud of love,
And flew out the other side, in the form of a dove.
Dark bird, dark bird.
G A
Dark bird.
