Tom:
Introdução:
A
You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
A
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
F#m D A
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
F#m D A
straight to the heat of your skin
F#m D
and I know our days are numbered,
A D
early bird of the summer
A E A
you'll fly south just as the fall begins
A
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
A
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
D Bm A
dooodoodoo
F#m D A
The fields where we wandered were golden
F#m D A
Now only muddy my boots
F#m D
and I know I should recover,
A D
you're a bird of the summer,
A E A
I was wrong to try and capture you
F#m, E, Bm, D, A, D
Flight
F#m, E, Bm, D, A, D
Flight
D, E, A
*******
F#m D A
Gone is the pale hand of winter
F#m D A
Here is the first flush of may
F#m D
And soon I will discover
A D
whether birds of the summer
A E A
fly in circles or just fly away
