Capo: 2
Song: Dark Bird Artist: Marty Stuart Album: Not yet recorded Words and music by: Marty Stuart Tuning: Standard Capo: 2nd fret I'm not too sure about the chorus here, the video I'm watching is poor quality and doesn't always show his left hand, and my guitar's out of action right now, so I'm doing this completely by ear and what I can see from the YouTube video. If you've got any corrections, please post them. Intro: A
AOn a cool September mornin', in the fall of 2'03, AA crier from Jerusalem broEught the news to Ame. His woD7rds were sharp and dreaded, and they made a lonesome sound, And they snAapped my heart in two, like a stick stepped on the ground. And I crEied and cried and cried, at the cutting of the pain, And quAietly said goodbye, so loEng in Jesus' naAme.
Dark biGrd, watch you fAly, Dark biGrd, to another sAky. And I'll bCet you were a sight, when you hD7it that cloud of love, And flew oAut the other side, in the fEorm of a dAove. Dark biArd, dark bird.
ASix feet one and a box of steel, in a pretty coat of black, AWell I watched the world, watch themselves, waEtch your final aAct. And I coD7uldn't help but notice, when they laid you in the earth, A trAain went by, headed north, for whatever it is worth. Your voice ecD7hoes in the wind, it rumbles through the trees, But afAter you've been everywhere, I guEess it's time to leAave.
Dark biGrd, watch you fAly, Dark biGrd, to another sAky. And I'll bCet you were a sight, when you hD7it that cloud of love, And flew oAut the other side, in the fEorm of a dAove. Dark biArd, dark bird. DaGrk bAird.
