Andrew Bird is an amazing singer/songwriter out of Chicago.  He is a one-man
orchestra,playing multiple instruments during each song, looping samples of each
to build songs.

He is amazing live, putting on his entire show with just one person, Kevin O'Donnel,
who plays drums and keyboards simultaneously.

D                G - D - Dsus2
 When...whenever Paul
          D             G - D - Dsus2
Thinks of rain, swallows fall
     Em
In a wave 
    G          A                  D
And tap on his windows with their beaks

D          G - D - Dsus2
And...when Paul
          D                G - D - Dsus2  
Thinks of snow, soft winds blow
           Em
'Round his head 
        G                A             G    
And the phone rings just once, late at night
       D            A
Like a bird calling out
                    Em
"Won't you wake up, Paul...
         G             A                    D
don't be scared, don't believe you're all alone"
          G   
"Wake up, Paul"
         D             G   
Whisper clouds rolling by
        Em
And the seeds

G                A
Falling from the branches
G            A
Oh, from the branches and they're
G                A               D
Falling from the branches of the trees
G            A
Oh, from the branches
G                A
Falling from the branches and they're
G                A               D
Falling from the branches of the trees
