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

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

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

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

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