[Intro]
A Am E A Am
[Verse]
E E5+ E6 E7 A
When I was a little child, I once found a bird lying on the ground.
Am E A Am
It would not ever fly, again.
E E5+ E6 E7 A
I held the bird up in my hands, I shed my tears over the lovely song
Am E A Am
that not longer could be heard.
[Refrain]
C#m A (2x)
Uhh...Never learn to fly
[Verse]
E E5+ E6 E7 A
With dirty hands I dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil:
Am E A Am
A wound in the tear stained mud.
E E5+ E6 E7
My tears wore rain as I revealed the secrets of a tree.
A Am E A Am
A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains:
[Refrain]
C#m A (2x)
Uhh...Never learn to fly
[Bridge]

I sang a song which I remembered my grandma used to sing

For me, when I was sick and laid in bed.
F#m A/E D#m7b5 D7+
Then I cursed that day for showing me my own mortality
C#m B4 F#/Bb A
For then I knew that all that lives turns cold.
A B Bbm F# Fm D# D#m C#
Cold and dead...
C#m A B A B A B C#m
...and now time has passed by beneath my wings.

Am
That was then I'm older now,
Am
but still I can't forget that rainy day.
Am
I raged against the ending times,
Am
though some day soon my son will maybe
Cm
Find the tree I cleansed of skin,
Cm
no chain-sling will ever climb it's rotten limbs.
Cm
And when the time has come for me to die,
Cm C#m A
I want to lie beside that bird.
