Golden Bird

E        C#m        A          
Walking along on a path in the 
E
mountains
E       C#m         E      B
I saw a bird flying way up high
E             C#m           A   
Gold were its wings in that time
         E
 of the morning
D           E          D     A 
Flashing at me as they flew 
         E
through the sky

[Verse 2]
E        C#m        A           
Its beauty was such that I felt 
        E
I must have it
E             C#m         E     
Chased it all day, nearly 
       B
entered the night
E        C#m         A      
Finally angered that I couldn't 
     E
catch it,
D          E        D   A       E
Determined I would stop it in flight

[Verse 3]
E           C#m       A         
I found a stone by a mountain 
      E
stream flowing
E            C#m           E    
Rounded and smooth by the waters
       B
 fast flow
E           C#m       A          E
It felt so warm and alive in my hand

D           E        D   A       E
It was an arrow, my arm was the bow.

[Verse 4]
E                  C#m          
Then a flashing of wings and a 
A               E
cry pierced the air
E                   C#m         
It fluttered and it fell on the 
E            B
rocks at my feet
E           C#m           A     
Weeping It left it, the thing 
        E
that had fallen
D                 E          D   
Blood stained my hands and tears 
 A       E
wet my cheeks

[Verse 5]
E          C#m         A         E
Later that night as I lay in my bed
E            C#m      E          
I heard the sound of wings in the 
  B
air
E               C#m          A  
The room became bathed in a warm
         E
 golden glow
D            E          D A    
I opened my eyes and a woman 
     E
stood there

[Verse 6]
E           C#m           A     
Didn't you know when you hurt me
     E
 so cruelly
E          C#m   E           B
I was your love, I was your friend
E             C#m          A    
You couldn't stand it that I was
     E
 so free
D             E     D  A    E
Now you will never see me again
