Homebird

	  		(Pattern 1) 

C                   G        Am 
The orange was the size of a watermelon to me, 
Dm       C               G 
Well at least that is my memory. 
C                G         Am 
Sunshine made my bare feet burn upon the road, 
Dm  C G   Am   G 
Far a-way we'd roam. 

C      G             Am 
I'd be howling out a song in the back seat, 
Dm             C          G 
The boys would laugh and tease about my black feet. 
C           G                  Am 
They'd tell stories that would warm my soul, 

(Pattern 2)  

Dm C   G     Am   F       Em 
Mo-tor-bikes and chrome, 
Gsus4           G 
Jimmy could not wait to get home. 

(Pattern 3) 

C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing, 
Dm     C          G     
Fly me high on an angel's wing. 
(Pattern 4) 
C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing, 
C     G/B  Am      G       C 
Leave out nothing, tell me everything. 


C                   G        Am 
Everywhere we went just looked the same to me,  
Dm           C              G 
The skies were blue and the grass was green, 
C            G                 Am 
I wonder how different I might see them now, 
Dm  C G   Am   G 
Yet I see them somehow. 

C           G                         Am 
Through the fallen memories when that angel baby sings, 
Dm            C              G 
Oh the little magic that his solo brings, 
C      G            Am 
Making up songs and words and singing from the soul, 
Dm C   G   Am  F       Em 
Oh the stories told, 
Gsus4            G 
None but him and Jimmy could know.  

C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing, 
Dm     C          G     
Fly me high on an angel's wing. 
C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing, 
C     G/B  Am      G       C 
Leave out nothing, tell me everything. 

C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing, 
Dm     C          G     
Fly me high on an angel's wing. 
C   Dm   F    C 
Homebird sing,  
C     G/B  Am      G       C 
Leave out nothing, tell me everything.
