Artist - Bonnie Dobson
Song - Bird of Space
Key - E Major (A Lydian)
Tempo - Andante, Ballad (105 bpm)
The Amaj7#11 in this is actually an Amajb5 (or Amaj#4), but UG wont highlight Amajb5 so I'll have to treat
the chord as if it had a seventh in it. Play the quasi-Amaj7#11 as x0122x
[Intro]

[Verse]
Amaj7#11 A
You talk when you cease
Emaj7
To be at peace with your thoughts
Amaj7#11 A
And when you can no longer dwell
In the solitude of your heart,
Amaj7#11 C#m
You live in your lips
[Interlude]
Dmaj7 C#m
And the sound is a pastime
Dmaj7 C#m
A diversion and waste time
Amaj7#11 A
And in much of your talking,
Amaj7#11 A
Thinking is half murder
[Chorus]
A B Emaj7
A thought is a bird
A B Emaj7
A bird of space
A G#m A B D
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings
C#m
But cannot fly
A B Emaj7
A thought is a bird
A B Emaj7
A bird of space
A G#m A B D
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings
C#m B
But cannot fly, but cannot fly
[Solo]
Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7 C#m
[Interlude]
Dmaj7 C#m
And the sound is a pastime
Dmaj7 C#m
A diversion and waste time
Amaj7#11 A
And in much of your talking,
Amaj7#11 A
Thinking is half murder
[Chorus]
A B Emaj7
A thought is a bird
A B Emaj7
A bird of space
A G#m A B D
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings
C#m
But cannot fly
[Chorus fadeout]
A B Emaj7
A thought is a bird
A B Emaj7
A bird of space
A B Emaj7 A B Emaj7
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings
