Bird of Paradise Lyrics

Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try
To keep your life in view
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
Wish that I could fly
I'd be beside you now
But I could only sigh
And watch you circle round
My bird of paradise/ sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise/ sweet bird of paradise
Bb C Dm riff
My bird of paradise
SOLO (over D riff and C Bb riff)
Saw you fly away
When will you come again
So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain
Repeat chorus and riff as previous chorus
Solo over Dm riff, to out
Chordal riffs example:
Hendrix-like embellished riff (based around C major chord V fret)
-5h7-5?5-----------|
this is on the C shape, also done on Dm shape and the Bb shape
