_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] [Db] You _ _ [Ab] wore a little cross of gold around [Db] your _ neck
_ I _ [Ab] saw it as you flew between [Eb] my reason
_ _ Like _
[Bb] a raven in the night [Bbm] time when you [Db] left
_ _ _ _ I [Ab] wore a chain upon my wrist that bears [Db] no name
_ You _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ touched it and [Eb] you wore it
_ _ And [Bbm] you kept it in your pillow all the [Db] same
_ My high [Ab]-fivin' bird has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself a [Bbm] keeper, _ she thought I meant her [Eb] harm
_ [Ab] She thought I was the _ archer, a _ weatherman [Db] of the woods
But I could never [Gb] shoot [Ab] _ _ [Gb] down
[Db] My _ _ _ _ high _ [Ab]
-fivin' bird _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] The white walls of your dress are new, [Db] must change scarlet red _
[Ab] You fled upon the coast, don't lie to [Eb] young men _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ In the foreign field of [Db] death
_ _ Oh, _ _
[Ab] wouldn't it be _ wonderful, [Db] is all I have to say
_ You [Ab] never closed your eyes at night and learned to [Eb] love daylight _ _ _ _
[Bbm] Instead _ _ _ _ you moved [Db] away
_ My high _
[Ab] _ _ _ -fivin' bird has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself a [Bbm] keeper, _ she thought I meant her [Eb] _ harm
She [Ab] thought I was the _ _ archer, a _ weatherman [Db] of the woods
But I could never [Gb] shoot [Ab] _ [Gb] down _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ My high [Ab]-fivin' bird _ has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself a [Bbm] keeper, _ she thought I meant her [Eb] _ harm
She [Db] thought I [Ab] was the _ _ archer, a [Db] weatherman of the woods
But I could never [Gb] _ shoot [Ab] _ [Gb] down _ _
