As done on "The Breeze" with Eric Clapton. Song by J.J. Cale
verse-like intro: C F C Am G C F C Am F G C-F-C
C F C
She told me lies, now they were special
Am G
I wanted to hear all those lovely words
C F C
I heard her one night in a club down in Texas
Am G C F C
She called herself the little songbird
Chorus
Am G Am D C
Songbird, sing me to sleep and ease my worried mind
Am G Am D C
Songbird, can you repeat it, say it one more time
Am G Am D C
Songbird, sing me to sleep and ease my worried mind
Am G Am D C
Songbird, can you repeat it, say it one more time
instrumental verse, like intro
She sang it so so sweet, my ears’re still ringin’
She didn’t mean to deceive me, now that I know
She made it all up, that she was just singin’
And they weren’t lies, just part of the show
-chorus-
