Where Do My Bluebirds Fly by The Tallest Man On Earth
Where Do My Bluebirds Fly
** CAPO ON FRET 1 **
Dm
Oh, well I knew you shook the set-up baby,
Dsus2 Bb C
of all the leaves up in the ground
Dm
And I know our song is over and heavy
Dsus2 Bb C
as I see dry leaves fallin' down, oh
Bb C F
Bb
With all this fever in my mind, I could drown in your kerosene eyes
Bb C
Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky
C7* Dm Dsus2 Bb C
Oh, where do my bluebirds fly?
And as the early sign of dawn of thunder
I see you stir the fog around
And when you find the boys and gears of sunset
we'll hear that high and lonesome sound, oh
And I will question every wind if they gone through the glow of your eyes
Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebirds fly?
I say where do my bluebirds fly?
Oh, well I know you soak your feathers baby
upon the ghosts along my trail
And I know well I was sole and buried
before I knew it was for sale, oh
With all this fever in my mind I could aim for your kerosene eyes
Oh, you're just a target in the sky
I say where do my bluebirds fly?
I say where do my bluebirds fly?

to get the timing and picking pattern:
---------------
version 5
From low to high it's D G D G A# d
He has two picking patterns that he uses:
(t-thumb, p-pointer, m-middle, r-ring)
Pattern 1:
d |----------------|
A#|--m--m--m--m----|
G |--p--p--p--p-p--|
D |--t---t---t---t-|
G |t---t---t---t---|
D |----------------|
1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a
He uses this pattern for the intro and varies it a little bit for different
parts (i.e. the last measure for each part of the intro)
Pattern 2:
d |--------r-------|
A#|-----m-----m----|
G |--p----------p--|
D |--t---t---t---t-|
G |t---t---t---t---|
D |----------------|
1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a
He uses this pattern for everything else and it also varies (hammer-ons).
The intro chord progression goes like this (I'm doing one chord per measure):
d |---------|
A#|-0-0-0-2-|
G |-3-2-0-5-|
D |-5-4-1-4-|
G |-0-0-----|
D |-----1-0-| x2
The chord progression for the verses goes like this:
d |-0-1-3-0-|
A#|-2-2-0-0-|
G |-0-3-0-2-|
D |-0-0-0-3-|
G |-0-0-----|
D |-----1-3-|
And for the chorus it goes like this:
(now it's a little weird because it's 7 measures not 8, and the 7th measure
has a second chord that it switches to halfway through)
d |-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-00-|
A#|-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-00-|
G |-0-2-3-0-|-0-2-20-|
D |-1-3-3-1-|-1-3-30-|
G |-----3---|--------|
D |-1-3---1-|-1-3-32-|
^
|
So this chord is played on the 3rd beat of that measure.
Sorry if that's confusing. Look at the written out tab
for a clearer picture of what's going on.
So, all of that written out:
