THE MISSION - "Bird Of Passage"
Comments, corrections, etc. welcome.

MAIN RIFF:
(Remark: On the low E-string, I use the little finger for the "3"
note, and the thumb for the "2" and "1". I also find the "4" note
quite difficult to reach, so usually I play that as a "0".)
There's a lump in my throat, and an ache in my heart
There's tears in my eyes, 'cause we're an ocean apart
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own,
Nothing quite as true as being all alone
This bird has flown,
But when the summer has passed, she'll come back home
Love, come wing your way,
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
Love, come wing your way,
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
Stay with me forever
With a change of season, she flies her nest
And like the sunny dusk, she sets to the west
Loneliness is the cross I bear, solitude is the cloak I wear
I miss you, I need you, I love you,
When the autumn comes, I'll be waiting for you
Love, come wing your way,
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
Love, come wing your way,
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
Stay with me forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
Am F G Em F Dm E7 (Repeat till end)
