[Ab]
[Gb] You [Ab] wore a little clasp of gold around [Db] your [Ab] neck
I saw it as you flew between [Eb] my reason
[Bb] Like a raven in the night time [Bbm] when you [Db] left
I wore [Ab] a chain upon my wrist that bears your [Db] name
[Ab] You touched it and you [Eb] wore it
And [Bbm] you kept it in your pillow all the [Db] same
[Db] My high [Ab]-flying bird has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself a [Bbm] keeper, she thought I meant her [Eb] harm
She thought I was [Ab] the archer, a weapon man [Db] of the woods
But I could never [Gb] shoot [Ab] [Gb] down
[Db]
My [Bbm] high [Ab]-flying bird
[Ab]
[Db] [Gb] [Db] The [Ab] white walls of your dress in blue
[Db] mustang scarlet red
They're [Ab] clad upon the coatstone like a [Eb] young man
[Bbm] In the foreign field of [Db] death
Oh,
[Ab] wouldn't that be wonderful [Db] is all I heard you say
You [Ab] never closed your eyes at night and learned to [Eb] love daylight
[Bbm] Instead you moved [Db] away
My high-flying [Ab] bird has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself a [Bbm] keeper, [Bb] she thought I meant her [Eb] harm
She thought I was the [Ab] archer, a weapon man [Db] of the woods
But I could never [Bbm] shoot [Ab] [Gb] down
[Db] My high-flying [Ab] bird has flown from out [Db] my arms
I thought myself [Bbm] a keeper, she thought I meant [Eb] her harm
She [Bb] thought I was [Ab] the archer, a weapon man [Db] of the woods
