Never Learn To Fly

[Intro: ]A Am E A Am E E5+ E6 E7 A When I was a little child, I once found a bird lying on the ground. Am E A Am It would not ever fly again. E E5+ E6 E7 A I held the bird up in my hands, I shed my tears over the lovely song that Am E A Am not longer could be heard. C#m A Uhh…..Never learn to fly. (2x) E E5+ E6 E7 A With dirty hands I dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil: Am E A Am a wound in the tear stained mud. E E5+ E6 E7 My tears wore rain as I revealed the secrets of a tree. A Am E A Am A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains: C#m A Uhh…..Never learn to fly. (2x) F#m A/E D#m7/5- D7+ I sang a song which I remembered my grandma used to sing C#m B4 F#/Bb A for me, when I was sick and laid in bed. F#m A/E D#m7/5- D7+ Then I cursed that day for showing me my own mortality C#m B4 F#/Bb A A B Bbm F# Fm D# D#m C# for then I knew that all that lives turns cold. Cold and dead. C#m B A B A B A B C#m And.........now time has passed by beneath my wings. C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m C G/B kristoffer gildenlow Am That was then I'm older now, but still I can't forget that rainy day. I raged against the ending times, though some day soon my son will maybe Cm find the tree I cleansed of skin. No chain-sling will ever climb its rotten limbs. (C#m A) 2x And when the time has come for me to die, I want to lie beside that bird. C#m A Uhh…..Never learn to fly. (4x) E E5+ E6 E7 A When I was a little child, I once found myself dying on the ground Am E and now I'll never ...fly...
