Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler.
His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

C When our mouths are filled F with uninvited tongues of others C And the strays are pining F for their unrequited mothers CG Milk that sours is promptly spat AmF Light will fill our eyes like cats
CF And they shall enter from the back C With spears and scepters and squirming sacks G Scribs and tangles between their ears Am Faceless scrumbled charcoal smears F (C) oh dear
Through the coppice and the chaparral The thickets thick with mold The bracken and the brier AmFAmF Catchweed into the fold
