G repeat for a bit

Verse 1

oh little red bird come to my window sill

been so lonesome shaking that morning chill

Oh little red bird open your mouth and say

been so lonesome just about flown away

Chorus

so long now i've been out in the rain and snow

 but winter's come and gone and a

little bird told me so

Verse 2

oh little blue bird pearly feather breast

five cold nickels all that i got left

oh little blue bird what am i gonna do

five cold nickels ain't gonna see me through

Chorus

Verse 3

oh little black bird on my wire line

dark as trouble in this heart of mine

oh little black bird sings a worried song

dark as trouble til winters come and gone

Chorus
