BIRD ON A WING
Written by Connie Kaldor
Verse 1:
G D G C
If you buy her a dream, she'll follow you anywhere
G Am G D
To any old truck stop that this world might bring.
G D G C
She's a heart held down by this little town
G C D G
She's looking to find a bird on a wing.
CHORUS:
G C
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G Am G D
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly.
G G7 C
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G D G
She's waiting for you to fly by.
VERSE 2:
G D G C
She makes a small hole in the frost on the window
G Am G D
She's looking out past old familiar things.
G D G C
She lets her mind slip from the small change and napkins
G C D G
Her heart's looking out for a bird on a wing.
CHORUS:
G C
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G Am G D
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly.
G G7 C
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G D G
She's waiting for you to fly by.
VERSE 3.
G D G C
She stacks up the cups and counts out the few tips
G Am G D
But she's humming a tune that a drifter might sing.
G D G C
She gets to thinking that she's tired of waiting
G C D G
Maybe she'll be her own bird on a wing.
CHORUS:
G C
Bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G Am G D
She knows in her heart she was destined to fly.
G G7 C
Like a bird on a wing, bird on a wing
G D G
She's waiting for you to fly by.
G D C///G
She's waiting for you to fly by
