G
Oh little red bird, come to my window sill
Em
Been so lonesome, shaking that morning chill
G
Oh little red bird, open your mouth and say
Been so lonesome, just about flown away
[chorus]
C G
So long now I've been out in the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone, a little bird told me so
Oh little blue bird, pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels' all I got left
Oh little blue bird, what am I gonna do?
Five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through
[chorus]
Oh little black bird on my wire line
Dark as trouble in this heart of mine
Poor little black bird sings a worried song
Dark as trouble til winter's come and gone
[chorus] x2
