Biography:
Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler.
His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

VERSE
Dm C Gm
From the dusty mesa the looming shadow grows
Dm C Gm
Hidden in the poison creosote
Dm C Gm
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
Dm C Gm
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
CHORUS
F
She twines her spines up slowly
C
To ward the boiling sun
Gm
And when I touched her skin
Bb
My fingers ran with blood
F
Oh rise with me forever
C
Across the silent sand
Gm
And the stars will be your eyes
Bb
And the wind
Will be my hand
Dm
Will by my hand
VIOLIN SOLO

VERSE
Dm C Gm
Strange hunger haunted me, the looming shadows danced
Dm C Gm
Fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand
Dm C Gm
And when the last light warms the rocks and the rattle snakes unfold
Dm C Gm
Cats will come to drag away your bones
CHORUS
F
She twines her spines up slowly
C
To ward the boiling sun
Gm
And when I touched her skin
Bb
My fingers ran with blood
F
Oh rise with me forever
C
Across the silent sand
Gm
And the stars will be your eyes
Bb
And the wind
Will be my hand
Dm
Will by my hand
