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
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
