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
E
Above the dark house
A
On a black tar roof
B7
Stood the sad milkman
E
In love with the moon
E
She filled up his window
A
With a soft milky light
B7
He crawled up the chimney
E E7
And into the night
CHORUS
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
VERSE
E
Down on the sidewalk
A
A crowd gathered round
B7
They were throwing up bricks and bottles
E
To knock the boy down
E E7
He stood up above them
A
With his hands in the air
B7
Calling up to the moonbeams
E E7
Come let down your hair
CHORUS
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
VERSE
(fingerpicking)
E
Well he wanted to feel like
A
A bucket of milk
B7
A sweet summer wind
E
On rolling green hills
(strumming)
E E7
He wanted to climb up
A
From the roof sailing up
B7
Upon the night wind
E E7
To the arms of...
CHORUS
A
But the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
And her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all, oh no
A
And as the moon she rises
E
And the moon she falls
B7
Well her slow white eye
E
Sees nothing at all
