G
Oh little red bird
Em
Come to my window sill
G
Been so lonesome
Em
Shaking that morning chill
G
Oh little red bird
Em
Open your mouth and say
G
Been so lonesome
Em
Just about flown away
Chorus:
C
So long now I've been out
G
In the rain and snow
Em
But winter's come and gone
(C)EmGA little bird told me so
Oh little blue bird
Pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels' all I got left
Oh little blue bird
What am I gonna do
Five cold nickels
Ain't gonna see me through
Chorus
Oh little black bird
On my wire line
Dark as trouble
In this heart of mine
Poor little black bird
Sings a worried song
Dark as trouble
'Til winter's come and gone
