The Fool and the Bird

F[D]ly awa[e]y my little b[C]ird, spread your w[G]ings and fly a[D]way[Dsus]
f[D]ly awa[e]y my pretty b[C]ird, on a c[G]old winters d[D]ay[Dsus]
f[D]ly awa[e]y my little b[C]ird, sing this s[G]ong with tears in my e[D]yes[Dsus]
f[D]ly awa[e]y my pretty b[C]ird, while a b[G]lue sky turns g[D]rey[Dsus]

Fly away my little bird, to the green fields of your home
fly away my pretty bird, to the isle where the sea wind blows
fly away my little bird, keep our memories in your heart

fly away my pretty bird and bring me back a rose


G[G]ive a fool a[D] kiss an[a]d he will follow y[e]ou
[C]he will f[G]ollow you to the sh[C]ores of your la[Dsus]nd[D]
g[G]ive a fool ano[D]ther o[a]ne and he will d[e]ie
[C]on a br[G]oken heart your p[C]icture in his h[D]and

Fly, fly, fly ...

Fly away mil title bird and believe in your sands
fly away my pretty bird, fly away don�t look back
fly away my little bird and carry on with your dreams
fly away my pretty bird, I will carry your flag

[e][C][G][e][C][D][e][C][G][e][C][G]
N[e]o words in this life that e[C]xpress how I fe[G]el,
cause I f[D]elt in love he[B]ad over heals
cl[e]ose your eyes and remember the cr[C]ack of l[G]ast December
clo[D]se your eyes, dance t[e]o the feel

[e][C][G][e][C][D][e][C][G][e][C][G]
Your [e]voice is still around, still i[C]n my ea[G]rs
a so[D]ng about a young queen and a s[B]oldiers fears
I tr[e]ied to sing along, al[C]ong to the s[G]ong
but out of m[D]e came just te[e]ars

[e][C][G][e][C][D][e][C][G][e][C][G]
Each s[e]ingle word reminds me of the s[C]even days we h[G]ad
no I do[D]n't need a letter no I do[B]n't need a card
I cl[e]ose my eyes, what do I see?
"A pr[C]etty bird, on a tr[G]ee"
you a[D]re still in my he[e]art

Fly away my little bird, keep on laughing about this world
fly away my pretty bird, with a smile on your face
fly away my little bird and sing the bird song of freedom
fly away my pretty bird, conquer the world with your grace
with your grace ...
