Fragile Bird - City And Colour
Standard Tuning (Capo 5th Fret)

This was made with the help of the tabs 
that are already on this site. I just felt as 
though the song is a four-chord 
progression in the verse, as oppose to the 
three-chord progressions that are one here.

Chords: There are some of the same chords in 
both the chorus and verse but they have alternate fingerings, 
so here are all the chords/fingerings in the song

Intro
Em C D C#m

Verse 1
Em            C             D            C#m
When she sleeps, there is a fever dream, yeah 
            Em         C                D            C#m
It brings a night terror, to haunt this fragile bird
E                   C                  D            C#m
She speaks in tongues, her words they come undone, yeah
           E          C                D                C#m      
And with a wayward mind, she struggles through the night 

Chorus
D        Em    C
All that I can do
   D        Em       C
Is hope she makes it through, 
            Em    C      D       C#m
Through the night, through the night

Em C D C#m

Verse 2
      Em            C                D             C#m
These cold nightmares, they make her worse for wear
Em             C              D           C#m
Lost in the dark, she's got a heavy heart
    Em           C         D             C#m
And when she wakes, in her fragile state
     Em              C                D             C#m
Well she calls my name, hoping that I keep her safe

Chorus
D        Em    C
All that I can do
   D        Em       C
Is hope she makes it through,
D        Em    C
All that I can do
   D        Em       C
Is hope she makes it through, 

Solo
Em C D C#m
 
            Em    C      D       C#m
Through the night, through the night
            Em    C      D       C#m
Through the night, through the night

Chorus
D        Em    C
All that I can do
   D        Em       C
Is hope she makes it through,
D        Em    C
All that I can do
   D        Em       C
Is hope she makes it through, 
                     Em   
Through the night
