Capo 3

In the last verse of the chors there is a quick C not during the Em.

Either quickly move from Em to C, or hold Em with fingers 2 and 3

and hit the fifth string, third fret with finger 4:

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)Em G

A 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

Chorus
