A Bird Flies By
Em G Em G
Bm A Em Bm A Em
D A Em D A Em
End on Em(7th)
BmIve been sleeping outAside
It's damp and Emgrainy
And BmIve been dreaming a Asong
That song is Emyou
And BmIve been thinking of Alove
Molded up with Emclay
And BmI made a joke about Ayou
That came back to haunt Emme
DWhen AIm Emhome
DIll Arest Emmy bones
In the DmidAnight Emsky
A Dbird Aflies Emby
And I waded through all of the tall grass
With eyes wide open
And I took a swim with Grandpa
In hopes that you would find me
And I stole your fishing boots
And replaced them with diamonds
That way when you are gone
I am not forgotten
Out through the chimney
And into the sky
The clouds they are empty
And a bird flies by         x2
Em(7th)

Ive been sleeping outside

It's damp and grainy

And I made a joke about you

That came back to haunt me

Ill rest my bones

In the midnight sky

A bird flies by

And I waded through all of the tall grass

With eyes wide open

And I took a swim with Grandpa

In hopes that you would find me

And I stole your fishing boots

And replaced them with diamonds

That way when you are gone

I am not forgotten

Out through the chimney

And into the sky

The clouds they are empty

And a bird flies by x2
