Rain bird dives throught the hole

In a broken guitar

Rain bird sings a song so sad in blue

Like a stranded insect

Stuck in a bowl of glue

F#7(add B) - stick

He tries to fly

But he will die

F#

If he ever leaves the zoo

- restart A(add B) sequence

Rain Bird / Rain Bird

Rain bird swoops through the

Chimney pots and rain

Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage

Hiding in the spotlights

Of a famous stage

F#7(add B) - stick again

He tries to become invisible

F#

Whilst stealing the front page

- restart A(add B) sequence

Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird

F#

When you were a boy

Bsus2

You used to wish for this

F#

But like the cat who turns his nose

Bsus2

Up at the dish

F# Bsus2

Now that you have it

You want to give it away

- no chord

When you had to work so hard

Slogging for a pittance

In a boot and shoe yard

F# Bsus2

That's when you wanted

What you now give away

F# Bsus2 E - no lyrics

- repeat A(add B) sequence

Rain Bird

You're all the rage, bird

Rain Bird

You're all the rage, bird

- end on F#

-David J
