Dave Cousins - Hummingbird


CAPO: 4th Fret



[Intro]
G Em Gadd9 (2x)

[Verse 1]
G D7 G
The spirit of the hummingbird
C G Am
Hovers in the shade
C G Am G
Blinded by the spider's web
Am G Am7
That glitters newly made


[Verse 2]
G D7 G
The stillness of the hummingbird
C G Am
Betrays her beating wings
C G Am G
She's silent in the darkest hour
Am G Am7
But bell-like when she sings


[Verse 3]
G D7 G
The sweetness of the hummingbird
C G Am
Is nectar to my lips
C G Am G
The brush-tipped tongue, her silent smile
Am G Am7
Commands her claws and whips


[Chorus]
G
Come with me
C
Come with me
G
The race is almost run


[Interlude}
Em D C G C


[Chorus]
G
Come with me
C
Come with me
G
The race is almost run


[Interlude}
Em D C G Em C G


[Verse 4]
D7 G
Tenacious is the hummingbird
C G Am
Among the jewelweed
C G Am G
Her deeply-forked and blue-black tail
Am G Am7
Is quick to gather speed


[Verse 4]
G D7 G
My Lucifer of hummingbirds
C G Am
Steals among the thieves
C G Am G
Bathing in scattered trees
Am G Am7
Clutching to wet leaves


[Verse 5]
G D7 G
The colour of the hummingbird
C G Am
Is bright as fresh spilled blood
C G Am G
She leads me to the water's edge
Am G Am7
Reddened by the flood


[Chorus]
G
Come with me
C
Come with me
G
The race is almost run


[Bridge]
Em D C G
The set aside of many years
Em D C G
The soft taillight of evening nears
Em D C G
My solitary friend appears
C D G
To circle round the sun
