I Was A Bird

C            F              C
I was a bird that loved to fly
             Am   F          G
Catching the wind as it went south
            C    F              C
And I could touch every inch of sky
                 F    G           
And the sweetest songs trilled 
   C
from my mouth
         F     G           C
But I'm no bird anyone can see
             Am    F            G
And there's no wind waiting for me
            C                      
It's just a dream, it's just a 
  Am
dream
        F    G      C       F C F
To be a bird flying free
        C
I was a cloud that loved to drift
         Am   F         G
Offering shade to lay upon
Continues after the ad
                 C     F   C      
And the greenest grass was my gift
 Am

             F   G      C
And a summer day was my song
           F     G          C
But I'm no cloud anyone can see
                 Am   F          
And there's just dust instead of 
G
green
            C     F            C 
It's just a dream, it's just a 
    Am
dream
        F    G         C
To be a cloud drifting free

F G C Am Dm G C F C Am F G C F C

C            F              C
I was a light that loved to dance
          Am  F             G
Without a care of who might see
          C   F             C     
I tempted fate and welcomed chance
 Am

               F    G          C
And I held the world inside of me
              F     G             
The clouds have fled, and the 
   C
birds have flown
                   Am  F          
And the light that was is all but 
G
gone
            C     F            C 
It's just a dream, it's just a 
    Am
dream
