KING OF BIRDS

Original chords by: ?
Corrections from: the-concourse-on-high


{Play the "D" chord like this:   xx0235
And play around with it, like descending on that high E string (frets->5,3,2)
through one line of verse.}


Intro :  D

DA (xx0232@1)thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
                                                    GStanding (320003@1)on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.
F# (244322@1)                          A (x02220@1)                      DA (xx0232@1)mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

DSinger (xx0232@1)sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old don't lay so still you're not yet young)
                                    GStanding (320003@1)on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
F# (244322@1)                          A (x02220@1)                       BA (x2444x@1)mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away
E (022100@1)       B (x2444x@1)                      E (022100@1)       -->  Daway... (xx0232@1)awaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyieeeeeee


DI (xx0232@1)am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
                                     GStanding (320003@1)on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold
F# (244322@1)                          A (x02220@1)                   DA (xx0232@1)mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away.
