Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
[Verse 1] AD I lived awhile without you EF#m Darn near half my life D I no longer see our unborn children E Born to you my unwed wife DA But yesterday I had a vision EF#m Beneath the tree where we once talked D Of an old couple burning their love letters E So their children won't be shocked
[Chorus] DA Love calls like the wild birds EF#m It's another day D A spring wind blew my list of GA Things to do ... away
[Verse 2] AD My friends are gettin older EF#m So I guess I must be too D Without their love and kindness E I don't know what I'd do DA Oh the wine bottle's half empty EF#m The money's all spent D We're a cross between our parents E And hippies in a tent
[Chorus] DA Love calls like the wild birds EF#m It's another day D A spring wind blew my list of GA Things to do ... away
[Verse 3] AD In a mucked up, lovely river EF#m I cast my little fly D I look at that river and smell it E And it makes me wanna cry DA Oh, to clean our dirty planet EF#m Now there's a noble wish D And I'm puttin my shoulder to the wheel E 'cause I wanna catch some fish
[Chorus] DA Love calls like the wild birds EF#m It's another day D A spring wind blew my list of GA Things to do ... away
[Verse 4] AD Children go to sleep now EF#m You know it's gettin' late D I know you don't like to miss nothin' E And school ain't that great DA Oh, I'll dance with you when you're happy EF#m And hold you when you're sad D Hope you know how glad I am E Just to be your dad
[Chorus] DA Love calls like the wild birds EF#m It's another day D A spring wind blew my list of GA Things to do ... away
[Verse 5] AD Darlin' it's been a hard go EF#m But I think we'll be okay D I know I say that all the time E Like everything else I say DA Oh, I've been gone so often EF#m But every time I miss you D I don't really know nothin' E Except I'd like to kiss you
[Chorus] DA Love calls like the wild birds EF#m It's another day D A spring wind blew my list of GA Things to do ... away
