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.

There's a bit of homebrew notation on this chord chart. Each dash in a line of
chords represents a bar (e.g. C--E-Am-F-F7-G-- is 8 bars total) Where there
aren't dashes, the chords are played for less than a bar (e.g. F A# C F at the
very end).
