Hummingbird
Tuning:E A D G B E

in Drop D tuning. This tab was done in standard tuning. If you want to
please feel free to tune your guitar to Drop D.

VERSE:
Am F C G
When I met her she was just engaged
Am F C
I was only twenty-three
Am F C G
She left right when I said hello
Dm F C G
I pursued her in my dreams
Am F C G
And when I found the courage
Am F C
For to speak more than a word
Am F C G
She was dressed in green and wild as night
Am F C
All like a Hummingbird
Am F C G Am F C
VERSE:
Am F C G
She stole my heart some more each day
Am F C
She said You should be mine
Am F C G
We married in her father's house
Dm F C G
Beneath the autumn sky
Am F C G
Blissfully I watched her darting
Am F C
Round and out of sight
Am F C G
And I knew I couldn't hold on long
Am F C
These hands are much too tight
BREAK:
Dm7 Dm7 G F F
Yes she slips, there she slides
Dm7 Dm7 G F F
Here she comes and there she flies
Am F C G Am F C
VERSE:
Am F C G
She said she'd travel by my side
Am F C
Unless death should do us part
Am F C G
It was in some crowded city street
Dm F C G
There stopped her beating heart
Am F C G
So, gone before we made one year
Am F C
Like all good things she passed
Am F C G
She disappeared into the breeze
Am F C
And flew out for the last
Am F C G Am F C C
Am F C C Bb F
VERSE:
Am F C G
In these times of constant change
Am F C
I'm holding on for you
Am F C G
You're the one whose affections I still crave
Dm F C G
The one my world clings to
Am F C G
And these words of mine escape my mouth
Am F C
And travel without bounds
Am F C G
Up through the clouds and into space
Am F C
There run devotion's sounds
Am F C G Am F C
You can hear them! Woooooh ooooh wooh ooh wooh ooh
Am F C G Am F C C
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
BREAK:
Dm7 Dm7 G F F
Yes she slips, there she slides
Dm7 Dm7 G F F
Here she coooomes there she flies
VERSE:
Am F C G
If I could be with her again
Am F C
I don't know what I would say
Am F C G
But I'll always know her by her shape
Dm F C G
Between that night and day
Am F C G
And she comes to me in glimpses now
Am F C
As fleeting as a word
Am F C G
Flashes bright and disappears
OUTRO:
Dm F G
My darling
C F Dm G Am F C G Am F C C
My darling Hummingbird.
