Capo 5
GLittle bird came into my life,
When I'd forgotten how to sing.D  
She had a broken wing, 
Gand on the night she came to me,
she sang for me cinders from a sDpark.
Little bird had a broken heart.
GShDe Emsang all night.
And in the morning I awoke to find I'd grown a smolder in my heart.
When it was cold and dark little bird came into my life,
when I'd lost sight of the spring.
She was the little spark.
GSo I stoDked the Emfire,
Dand I heCld her Dwarm by it.
Woooooah, and we sang alGl night.D  Em  
Little bird came into my life,
when I'd forgotten how to sing.
I had a broken wing,
and all the while she sang to mend.
A broken heart will learn the words to say.
We'll fly again someday.
So I stoked the fire,
and I held her warm by it,
And we sang all night.
It's like a window to my heart.
And I sang all night.

Capo 5

Little bird came into my life,

When I'd forgotten how to sing.

She had a broken wing,

and on the night she came to me,

she sang for me cinders from a spark.

Little bird had a broken heart.

G D Em

She sang all night.

And in the morning I awoke to find I'd grown a smolder in my heart.

When it was cold and dark little bird came into my life,

when I'd lost sight of the spring.

She was the little spark.

G D Em

So I stoked the fire,

D C D

and I held her warm by it.

G D Em

Woooooah, and we sang all night.

Little bird came into my life,

when I'd forgotten how to sing.

I had a broken wing,

and all the while she sang to mend.

A broken heart will learn the words to say.

We'll fly again someday.

So I stoked the fire,

and I held her warm by it,

And we sang all night.

It's like a window to my heart.

And I sang all night.
