Bird Of The Summer chords by A Fine Frenzy

A

   A
You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
  A
dooodoodoo

   A
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
  A
dooodoodoo

   A
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
  A
straight to the heat of your skin
    D
and I know our days are numbered,
    D
early bird of the summer
      A
you'll fly south just as the fall begins

   A
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
  A
dooodoodoo

   A
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
  A
dooodoodoo

   A
The fields where we wandered were golden
  A
Now only muddy my boots
    D
and I know I should recover,
     D
you're a bird of the summer,
    A
I was wrong to try and capture you

A 2x

D
Flight
D
Flight

A
A 2x

*******

 A
Gone is the pale hand of winter
 A
Here is the first flush of may
   D
And soon I will discover
     D
whether birds of the summer
    A
fly in circles or just fly away
