// Bluebirds, Ray Frye, (c) 2023 //
[Verse 1]
Am
I watched my dad's guitar fly
G11
from a third floor Project window
D9 Am
and hit the ground with a twangy crack
Am
I could hear my mama yelling
G11
I could hear my baby sister crying
D9 Am
And I knew that man wasn't coming back
[Chorus]
C G
Some days the world crashes down on me
Dm Am
and it doesn't make a sound
C G
Some days there are bluebirds on my shoulders
F G Am
and my feet don't touch the ground
[Verse 2]
Am
That year I think I might have been
G11
twelve years old
D9 Am
This was the only life I ever knew
Am
I didn't know worse from better
G11
And I didn't know there was more to life.
D9 Am
I didn't have clue
[Chorus]
C G
Some days the world crashes down on me
Dm Am
and it doesn't make a sound
C G
Some days there are bluebirds on my shoulders
F G Am
and my feet don't touch the ground
[Verse 3]
Am
There was a war going on
G11
that I could not avoid
D9 Am
so I did my duty to my nation
Am
And as sad as this sounds
G11
it turned out that one man's war
D9 Am
became this man's salvation
[Chorus]
C G
Some days the world crashes down on me
Dm Am
and it doesn't make a sound
C G
Some days there are bluebirds on my shoulders
F G Am
and my feet don't touch the ground
[Verse 4]
Am
That war took me far away...
G11
From my home
D9 Am
to places I might never have gone
Am
I found people with smiling faces
G11
who worked the land
D9 Am
and they were healthy and strong
[Chorus]
C G
Some days the world crashes down on me
Dm Am
and it doesn't make a sound
C G
Some days there are bluebirds on my shoulders
F G Am
and my feet don't touch the ground
[Verse 5]
Am
They built their own lives
G11
based on God
D9 Am
and love for their fellow man
Am
And the people I grew up with
G11
don't really have a clue
D9 Am
(Anyway[spoken])This is the America where I will make my stand
[Chorus]
C G
Some days the world crashes down on me
Dm Am
and it doesn't make a sound
C G
Some days there are bluebirds on my shoulders
F G Am
and my feet don't touch the ground
