Notes:
I believe Eilen plays a C in the second line of the chorus, though I prefer to play a G there.
[Verse 1]
C G
Oh songbird in my darkest night
F C
You sing so sweetly I can't be afraid
C G
Over my path your song casts a light
F C
So bright, so real I won't lose my way
[Chorus]
Am C
I set true north by you
Am C
And so all directions too
Am C G
Songbird what did I do before you
C
What did I do before you
[Verse 2]
C G
Oh songbird in my weariest day
F C
A few clear notes is all I need
C G
And I see without warning a precious ray
F C
Of magic in each ordinary thing
[Chorus]
Am C
You illuminate, renew
Am C
Take the sad out of the blue
Am C G
Songbird what would I do without you
C
What would I do without you
[Verse 3]
C G
How'd you get so strong, such a little thing
F C
Is it your song that makes you brave
C G
My whole world rests on those tiny wings
F C
But you don't seem to mind the weight
[Chorus]
Am C
I set true north by you
Am C
And so all directions too
Am C G
Songbird what did I do before you
C
What did I do before you
[Harmonica]
C G F C
C G F C
[Chorus]
Am C
You illuminate, renew
Am C
Take the sad out of the blue
Am C G
Songbird what would I do without you
C
What would I do without you
