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]
C G
The finches and sparrows build nests in my chimney
F Fm
what remains of the small flightless birds that you failed to protect
C G F
but their yolk isn't easy in fact it's a drag
Fm C
as they're blowing through cornfields and mountains of rags
C G F
all over the suburbs across the great lawns
Am
crop-dusting gardens all over this town
[chorus]
C G F
but nobody cares when it gets in their hair
C G F
it gets in their lungs as it floats through the air
C G F
it gets in the food that they buy and prepare
D7 G F
but nobody cares when it gets in their hair
[whistle]
[middle]
F
across the great chasms and schisms and the sudden aneurisms
C G F
where the black ink will drip across the crespice of your eyes
F
and your teeth are worth more than you can spare-
C G F
-oh don't tell me that it just isn't fair
F
don't speak about the cycles of life 'cause your thoughts are so soft
C G F D7 G (fill 1)
I could cut 'em with a spork or a bride's kniii-i-fe
F C G F
and the wine made our mouths too loose
F C G F
such a reckless choice of words
F C G (F#)
when you tell me that I'm too "abstruse"
G
I just thought it was a kind of bird
(F#)
(I swear) I just stood there
F
not saying a word
