Verse:
Dm G C F
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Dm G C F
Though I am nothing big to offer
Dm G C F
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
E F Gsus4 G
It's like nothing in this world's ever still
Dm G C F
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
Dm G C F
But sun is setting, shadows growing
Dm G C F
A long cast figure will turn into night
E F Gsus4 G
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Chorus:
C F G C (C/B)
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
Am F Gsus4 G
And why can't that always be
C F G C (C/B)
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Am F Gsus4 G
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me
Dm G C F x2
Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old
Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as chorus)
C F G C (C/B)
Am F Gsus4 G
Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as the intro)
Dm G C F x6

version 4
Tuning: standard
He transitions to the F chord from the C by maintaining the "C shape" and covering the first fret
of the E string with his thumb.
-------------------
Intro/Verse:
-------------------
Chord Movement - Dm>G>C>F>Dm7>G>C>F
e|---5---3---0-----------1-----8---3---0-----------1---|
B|---6---3---1-----------1-----6---3---1-----------1---|
G|---7---4---0-----------2-----5---4---0-----------2---|
D|---7---5---2--2p0-2p0--3-----7---5---2--2p0-2p0--3---|
A|---5---5---3-----------3---5-----5---3-----------3---|
E|-------3---3-----------1---------3---3-----------1---|
The introduction and verse are essentially identical. The only differences are that the verse does
not have the embellishments between the C and F chord (the pulloffs on the d string), and he
plays a Dm instead of the Dm7.
On the last line of each verse, he plays this progression to bridge from verse-to-verse and
verse-to-chorus:
E>F>Gsus4>G
e|---0---1---3---3---|
B|---0---1---3---3---|
G|---1---2---5---4---|
D|---2---3---5---5---|
