-----------------------------------

        Cm                     Gm    Cm
I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder
        Cm                     Gm    Cm
I got a blue bird, a blue bird on my shoulder
          Fm        Ab
I saw her standing, standing by the water
        Fm         Ab
She was naked, her hair in great disorder
       Db         Ab          Bb      Cm
And I know that I fly and the rest is lie

I sent a warning, a warning of disaster
I sent a warning, I warned of great disaster
I sent that blue bird, a blue bird down the water
I sent that blue bird, floating down the water

And I know that I fly and the rest is lie
Hold me, hold me, hold me close
