Love and Rocket's "Rain Bird"
from _Earth, Sun, Moon_
chord voicings:
A(add B) - 577600
F#7(add B) - 244300
A(add B) G6 F#7(add B) - repeat sequence
Rain bird dives throught the hole
In a broken guitar
Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue
Like a stranded insect
Stuck in a bowl of glue
F#7(add B) - stick
He tries to fly
But he will die
If he ever leaves the zoo
- restart A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird / Rain Bird
Rain bird swoops through the
Chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights
Of a famous stage
F#7(add B) - stick again
He tries to become invisible
Whilst stealing the front page
- restart A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird
When you were a boy
You used to wish for this
But like the cat who turns his nose
Up at the dish
Now that you have it
You want to give it away
- no chord
When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance
In a boot and shoe yard
That's when you wanted
What you now give away
F# Bsus2 E - no lyrics
- repeat A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
- end on F#
-David J
