Chords for Eric Burdon - Bird on the Beach 1980

[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] Stood with my kin [F] on a lonely _ [Eb] _ [G] windswept _ [Bb] beach
When _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ the sun was on the horizon _ [Eb] _ [Bb] out of reach
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] She ran ahead of me looking [Eb] for that [Bb] next surprise
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb]
Our souls were wet, yes Lord, from the [Bb] incoming tide
Then _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Ab] looked at me, [Eb] Lord, with tears in her eyes _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Only dead bird [Ab] and his soul [Eb] is gone, [Bb] _ _ yeah
_ _ Don't you [F] know he's free?
_ _ _ _ Not like you [Bb] and me
_ [Eb] [Bb] He's free _
_ [F] Free
_ _ _ [F] Not like you [Bb] and me
_ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ I never ever ever [F] thought [Eb] that we could [Bb] be so out of reach _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] And the lonely times have been like cars in my [Eb] child
I wish I could practice [Bb] what I preach, yeah _
Miss _ _ [Eb] _ _ these feelings that I've been holding deep [Bb] inside _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Been missing you so much, baby
The only healer [Bb] can be tired, _ yeah
_ _ [F] _ By then you will have forgotten
_ The dead bird [Bb] on the beach _ _
_ Oh, _ [F] please don't forget your father, baby
Cause he's out [Bb] of reach
I got a dream, baby
And my dream is [F] to be free _ _
_ _ Oh, [Bb] you and me, yeah, yeah _
_ My dream is [F] to be free, yeah _
_ For you [Bb] and me _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] You hear my music in the wind
_ [F] _ _ Party like the rolling tide
_ [Gm] _ One thing you can be sure of, my
_ [F] Wherever you go, I'll hold on to the inside
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ And I told her, [F] look, [Eb] even if he was living
[Bb] And you could hold him in your hand
[F] _ [Eb] You'd still have to open [Bb] up and let him fly
[Eb] That bird [Bb] must be free
[Eb] Stop turning up, let me love
[Bb] He's in a riot _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] The soul of the dead [Ab] bird
That has [Eb] left his [Bb] body behind _
_ _ Don't you know [F] he's free? _ _ _
Just like yellow [Bb] and red
He's free
Don't [F] you know it's freedom?
For _ _ _ _ you [Bb] and me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I'm talking about freedom
_ Freedom, just like yellow and red
For [Bb] you and me, yeah, yeah, yeah
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
