Bird Of The Summer

(Intro) A D A A You came with the season as the first swallow sang A brown headed stranger with a five-letter name D Bm A dooodoodoo A We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home D Bm A dooodoodoo F#m D A My cheeks red like fire engines racing F#m D A straight to the heat of your skin F#m D and I know our days are numbered A D early bird of the summer A E A you'll fly south just as the fall begins A The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill D Bm A dooodoodoo A You sent me a postcard from a town out of state I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same D Bm A dooodoodoo F#m D A The fields where we wandered were golden F#m D A Now only muddy my boots F#m D and I know I should recover A D you're a bird of the summer A E A I was wrong to try and capture you ( A D A ) (2x) F#m E Bm D A D Flight F#m E Bm D A D Flight ( A ) ( D E A ) (2x) F#m D A Gone is the pale hand of winter F#m D A Here is the first flush of may F#m D And soon I will discover A D whether birds of the summer A E A fly in circles or just fly away
