Tom: Bb
Eb Eb/D Cm F Bb F/A
Well I saw a bird today
Gm Gm/F Eb
Flying from a bush
Cm F F4 F
And the wind blew it away
Dm G C
And the black-eyed mother Sun
G/B Am
Scorched the butterfly at play
Am/G F Dm
Velvet Veined
G G/F
I saw it burn
Eb Cm Bb
With a wintry storm-blown sigh
Ab Fm Bb Eb Eb/G
A silver cloud blew right on by
Bb Gm
And, taking in the morning
F F4 F
I sang
Bb Bb/A Gm Gm/F Eb
O Requiem
Eb Eb/D Cm F Bb
Well, my lady told me: Stay
F/A Gm Gm/F Eb Cm
I looked aside and walked away
F F4 F
Along the Strand
Dm G C
But I didn't say a word,
G/B Am
As the train time-table blurred
Am/G F Dm
Close behind
G G/F
The Taxi stand
Eb Cm
Saw her face in the tear-drop
Bb
Black cab window
Ab Fm
Fading in to the traffic,
Bb Eb
Watched her go
Eb/G Bb Gm
And taking in the morning,
Eb F F4 F
Heard myself singing
Bb
O Requiem
Bb Bb/A Gm
Here I go again
Gm Gm/F Eb
It's the same old story
( Eb Eb/D Cm )
( F Bb F/A Gm )
( Gm/F Eb Cm )
( F F4 F )
( Dm G C )
( G/B Am Am/G )
( F Dm G G/F )
Eb Eb/D Cm F Bb
Well, I saw a bird today
F/A Gm Gm/F Eb Cm
I looked aside and walked away
F F/A
Along the Strand
