[Intro]

(x2)

[Verse 1]

Ab Db Dbadd9 Db
You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
Ab Eb
I saw it as you flew between my reason
Bbm Bbm/C Db Dbadd9 Db
Like a raven in the night time when you left
Ab Db Dbadd9 Db
I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name
Ab Eb
You touched it and you wore it
Bbm Bbm/C Db
And you kept it in your pillow all the same

[Chorus]

Db Dbadd9 Db Ab Absus4 Ab Ebsus4/Ab Eb
My high flying bird has flown from out my arms
Bbm
I thought myself her keeper
Eb
She thought I meant her harm
Eb7 Ab
She thought I was the archer
Absus4 Ab Ebsus4/Ab Eb
A weather man of words
Bbm Bbm/Ab Gb Db
But I could never shoot down Ohh Ohh
Dbadd9 Db Ab
My high flying bird

Oh wouldn’t it be wonder ful is all I heard you say

Instead you moved away
