Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2nd fret
Intro: A
A
On a cool September mornin'''', in the fall of 2''''03,
A E A
A crier from Jerusalem brought the news to me.
D7
His words were sharp and dreaded, and they made a lonesome sound,
A
And they snapped my heart in two, like a stick stepped on the ground.
E
And I cried and cried and cried, at the cutting of the pain,
A E A
And quietly said goodbye, so long in Jesus'''' name.
G A
Dark bird, watch you fly,
G A
Dark bird, to another sky.
C D7
And I''''ll bet you were a sight, when you hit that cloud of love,
A E A
And flew out the other side, in the form of a dove.
A
Dark bird, dark bird.
A
Six feet one and a box of steel, in a pretty coat of black,
A E A
Well I watched the world, watch themselves, watch your final act.
D7
And I couldn''''t help but notice, when they laid you in the earth,
A
A train went by, headed north, for whatever it is worth.
D7
Your voice echoes in the wind, it rumbles through the trees,
A E A
But after you''''ve been everywhere, I guess it''''s time to leave.
G A
Dark bird, watch you fly,
G A
Dark bird, to another sky.
C D7
And I''''ll bet you were a sight, when you hit that cloud of love,
A E A
And flew out the other side, in the form of a dove.
A
Dark bird, dark bird.
G A
Dark bird.
