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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Tabbed from Bowl of Fire's Oh! The Grandeur, where Bird plays it a half step down.
Chords are lazily strummed on the offbeat. Bird will diminish or 7th chords when
he feels like it and it adds a bluesy element... I play the first E and the
chorus E (Music of hair...) on the 7th fret, then I walk up to G# from fret 2
for (Music of pain...). Not sure what the following chord is so I called it chord X:
[Chord X]
e|-------------------|
B|-------------------|
G|---2---4---5-------|
D|---4---4---4-------|
A|---3---3---3-------|
E|-------------------|
E
Wait, don't go too early
C#m
You're tired but everyone's tired
A Am
But no one is tired enough
E B
Only wait a little and listen
E
Music of hair
G#
Music of pain
A X E
Music of looms waving all our loves again
A
Be there to hear it
Am E
It's your only chance
G#
Hair will become interesting
C#m
Pain will become interesting
F#
second hand gloves
A Am
Will become lovely again
E
Wait
G# A
Wait for now
X
distrust everything if you have to
E
But trust the hours
A Am
Haven't they carried you everyWhere
E
up to now
