Tom Waits - Fish And A Bird

	G	D		G		   C	      D
They crowd around for the sailor, 	and they heard his tale
	G	     Em	    C		     D		   G     C		Am
Of a world that was so far away,	and a song that we never heard
  D	     G     C      Am		             D		G
A song of a little bird,		who fell in love with a whale
	    G        D	      G
He said you can not live in the ocean
	C	D	G	   Em	      C	    Am
And she said to him you never can live in the sky
	D	 G	     C     Am	       D	    G      C		Am
But the ocean is filled with tears, 	and the sea turns into a mirror 
	  D		G	      C     Am	      D 	  G
There’s a whale in the moon when it’s clear, 	and a bird on the tide
   G	  F#m   C		       Am   C    D
Oh please don’t cry, 		let me dry your eyes
     G     D               G
So tell me that you will wait for me
	C	D 		  G	     Em	        C	 Am
Hold me in your arms		I promise we never will part
       D         G     	     C        Am		D	    G		C	Am
I’ll never sail back to the tide,		and I’ll always pretend you’re mine
	   D	      G	        C    Am  	D	   G
Though I know that we both most part,	you can live in my heart
   G	  F#m   C		       Am  C    D
Oh please don’t cry, 		let me dry your eyes
   G       D             G
So tell me that you will wait for me
	C	D		  G	     Em	       C	 Am
Hold me in your arms		I promise we never will part
       D         G	     C        Am		D	    G		    C	   Am
I’ll never sail back to the tide,		and I’ll always pretend that you’re mine
	   D	      G	          C  Am  	 D	   G
Though I know that we both most part,	you can live in my heart
