Tom : A
(intro) A D A
A
You came with the season as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger with a five-letter name
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
A
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
F#m D A
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
F#m D A
straight to the heat of your skin
F#m D
and I know our days are numbered
A D
early bird of the summer
A E A
you'll fly south just as the fall begins
A
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
A
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
F#m D A
The fields where we wandered were golden
F#m D A
Now only muddy my boots
F#m D
and I know I should recover
A D
you're a bird of the summer
A E A
I was wrong to try and capture you
( A D A ) (2x)
F#m E Bm D A D
Flight
F#m E Bm D A D
Flight
( A )
( D E A ) (2x)
F#m D A
Gone is the pale hand of winter
F#m D A
Here is the first flush of may
F#m D
And soon I will discover
A D
whether birds of the summer
A E A
fly in circles or just fly away
