Yellow Bird

E

[Verse 1]
E
There's my yellow bird
               C#m
And though I'd love to feel love from her
       A
It was all in the past
A             B                                  E
And my white picket fence is burning to the ground
E
There's that orange shirt
             C#m
Burned in my memory from this hurt
           A
It was the last time we touched
              B                     E
I didn't know I'd never see you again

[Chorus 1]
A         B      E
Won't you let me go?
    A     B       E       B    A  E    A
For every man has known a love of this kind
     B                   E
Just keep your hands off mine

[Verse 2]
E
As the years go by
          C#m
I see the stars they slowly die
A
And the memories fade
     B            E
With each passing day
E
And as an old man looking back
            C#m
On the long life that I've had
       A
I will think of this and smile
       B                     E
And be glad I knew you for a while

[Chorus 2]
A       B       E
So I'll let you go
A         B       E       B    A  E    A
For every man has known a love of this kind
     B                   E
Just keep your hands off mine
