Bluebird

Am            C
Bluebird on a telephone line.
D            Am
How are you? I'm feeling fine.
Am           Em           Am
Sweetly do I whisper your name.


Am            C
Lonely solo taxi ride to a
D                  Am
cheap motel on the wrong side of the
 tracks.
Am            Em          Am
The facts are tricky to explain.

[Chorus]
Dm                       Am
Cold front bearing down, blowing in 
from Birmingham.
Dm                                
By dawn the window's wet with icy 
Am
rain.
Dm                     Am
Behind fourteen doors, a sad parade 
of paramours
Am                                 
are throwing little white rocks at 
Em              Am
sorrow's window pane.
Am                        Em     
Me, I've found someone to love 
            Am
more than the rain.

[Verse]

Am             C
Salvation Army ringing bell,
D                Am
kingdom come and wishing wells.
Am                Em              
Hey Santa Claus I see your junkie 
Am
eyes.


Am                     C
It's the devil and the deep blue 
sea, with old
D                Am
friends I hope I never see again;
Am                  Em         Am
all tangled up with misery and lies.

[Chorus]
Dm                              
The lonely hiss of passing cars 
Am
feeds the ache of ancient scars,
Dm                                
like ghosts beneath my bed 
  Am
rattling chains.
Dm                                
No good luck charm or remedy ever 
Am
proved to soothe my sanity
Am               Em               
nor bad medicine served to ease my
 Am
 pain.
Am                     Em        
Had to find someone to love more 
         Am
than the rain.

[Verse]
Am              C
Now, old habits will die hard.
D                         Am
This pile of junk setting in my 
yard...
Am                 Em            
souvenirs from the wrecking ball 
   Am
of dreams.

Am                           C
You spend a lifetime tearing temples
 down,
D                    Am
it gets to feel like hallowed ground
Am                 Em            
is a shallow grave where ne'er 
           Am
the bluebird sings.

[Chorus]
Dm                                
Last time home when I played this 
                Am
song, you said "Dad, it's sad, and 
way too long."
Dm                                
And I pulled you close and held 
        Am
you in my arms.
Dm                                
Yes, salvation wears a thin 
          Am
disguise 'cause I can see the heaven
 in your eyes.
Am                         
And I thank God them years I 
  Em                   Am
searched were not in vain...
Am                       Em      
finally found someone to love 
           Am
more than the rain.
Am                  Em            
Bluebird I love you more than the 
Am
rain.
