Verse:

D5                G5          C5        F5
   I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
D5             G5              C5       F5
   Though I am nothing big to offer
D5              G5              C5            F5
   I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
          E5                F5            G5   G5
It's like nothing in this world's ever still

D5                G5          C5               F5
   And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
D5               G5             C5         F5
   But sun is setting, shadows growing
D5             G5             C5       F5
   A long cast figure will turn into night
          E5                F5          G5   G5
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps


Chorus:

   C5             F5              G5        C5     ( C5 )
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
    A5             F5        G5   G5
And why can't that always be
C5       F5              G5        C5     ( C5 )
Tossing aside from your birches crown
A5          F5         G5   G5
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me

D5 G5 C5 F5 x2

Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old

Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me

(same as chorus)
C5 F5 G5 C5 ( C5 )
A5 F5 G5 G5

Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
