Eb5               Ab5       
Ray decided to be silly after all,
   Eb5                          Ab5    
He died a thousand times in the Viet war,
Eb5                              Ab5    
So he strapped himself in and he took his chances,
F#5                    Ab5    
Into the valley of the bird absurd,

Eb5                               Ab5    
I don't remember what it was the old man said,
   Eb5                             Ab5    
I know I'd tempted fate a thousand times before,
Eb5                                Ab5    
So we strapped ourselves in and we took some chances,
F#5                      Ab5    
And had a fight for the brother who can be,

Eb5   Ab5    
Birdman,
                Eb5      Ab5    
Looking for the waste land,
              Eb5      Ab5    
Try'na get me face tanned,
                      F#5
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
                         Ab5
We're flying through the valley of the birds,

Eb5                        Ab5  
We decided all for all and all for one,
    Eb5                      Ab5  
And when I do I really wanna go in style,
Eb5                          Ab5  
So without a sense of reason we explored life,
F#5                           Ab5
Like throwing stoned into the great unknown of

Eb5   Ab5    
Birdman,
                Eb5      Ab5    
Looking for the waste land,
              Eb5      Ab5    
Try'na get me face tanned,
                      F#5
It's beautiful, we're beautiful,
                         Ab5
We're flying through the valley of the birds.
