SOLO Riff Intro 2x ? C B7
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
she knows the words to say
And she gives me just a little understanding,
in her special way
And I just have to say,
in my life I loved no other
Because she's more than I deserve,
and she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
