A Fine Frenzy - 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, 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
