Biography:
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.

[Verse]
C F
If you come to find me affable
C G
Build a replica for me
C F
Would the idea to you be laughable
C G
Of a pale facsimile
C F
So when you come to burn an effigy
C G
It should keep the flies away
C F
And when you learn to burn this effigy
C G Am D Dm G G#(note)
It should be for the hours that slip away, slip away
[Chorus]
F C G
It could be you, it could be me
Dm F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am E
Carrying on with your conspiracies
F F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C A
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F G C A
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
Dm G
When one has spent too much time alone
[Interlude]

So when you come to burn an effigy

If you long to burn an effigy
C G Am D Dm G G#(note)
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away
[Chorus]
F C G
It could be you, it could be me
Dm F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am E
Carrying on with your conspiracies
F F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C A
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone

Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time all alone

When one has spent too much time alone
