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.

FC Take your apples from the earth FC And your fingerlings from the air FD7G If you cried when you were born E Cause it ain't fair FG You got nothing nothing to wear
DmC And there's a drink that we're all needing GF A need to weep but we have tried DmC And though the clouds we keep on seeding EFAm Still the county remains dry the county remains dry FCG The county remains dry
violin solo FC (x3) FD7GEFG
DmC I see your coat that it needs sewing GF And these seeds will sow the corn silk bride DmC But in your absence nothing's growing EFAm And still the county remains dry the county remains dry FCG The county remains dry
FC Well still we keep on dreaming FC Of that fifty-year flood FC Of oceans of plasma FC And rivers of blood FC Take your apples from the earth FC And your fingerlings from the air FD7G If you cried when you were born E Cause it ain't fair FG You got nothing nothing to wear
