Wounded Bird by Black Crowes
Wounded Bird
Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G)
Unlike I first thought, this one is in fact in open G (well, Rich plays it live in
that tuning, and some of the positions do make more sense that way, so I'm going
to assume it was recorded in open G as well).

For the second chorus, cut out the last two measures and continue straight into the interlude...

This whole figure is played four times. The last time through continue on to the
second ending. It's hard to tell what Rich is doing here, the sound gets a little
muddy, but this will suffice. After the interlude, the chorus is repeated, and
Rich repeatedly hits the chords over the "set your mind to fly" lyrics and
Luther's slide lines.

Off the tracks lost the rail
Trying to squeeze a little blood out a rusty nail
When you're thirsty, thirsty
Behind your eyes you feel the burn
As your down hill ride takes a solid turn from the lonely, lonely
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly
It's like it been a long time in an empty bed
In an empty room with an empty head full of nothing
And all you got left is your skin and your teeth
And the red in your eye your six feet deep to get ready yeah
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly
The waiting is over
So lets roll in the clover
Time for a head full of stars
Lets pull back the curtain
I know one thing for certain
Well we don't have very long
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly
Set your mind to fly [x7]
