Standard (EADGBE)

 There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

hanging by a thread from the sky

 there’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her life upside down and inside out

(Chorus)

Hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

 through the night

 to the morning light

 There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her voice echoes loud in my mind

 there’s a bird singing the blues tonight

her cries crystal clear cutting through the sky

(Chorus)

Hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

hold, hold on tight

 through the night

 to the morning light

Will she sing me through the night

take me to the morning light

will she sing me through the night

 to the light

 to the morning light

 There’s a bird singing the blues tonight

hanging by a thread from the sky

 and even though the sky is as black as ink

the world turned off

 still she sings

 yeah, she sings
