Lisa Hannigan – Little Bird chords ver. 2

Intro: B, G, B, G, B, G, B, G,

B                        EYour heart sings like a kettle

         G                           BAnd your words, they boil away like steam.

B                               EAnd a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,

G                                  BA heart is built for both it seems.

B                        EYou are lonely as a church,

              G                     BDespite the queuing out your door.

B                  E         G           B         I am empty as a promise, no more.


F#         E            B  When the time comes,

    F#            E          BAnd rights have been read,

  F#            EI think of you often

     B         F#          E         But for once I meant what I said.

B, G, B, G, B, G, B, G

   B                  EI was salted by your hunger,

         G                       BNow you've gone and lost your appetite

B                     E             G               BAnd a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.

    B              EI am lonely as a memory

            G                          BDespite the gathering round the fire.

B                  E            G      BAren't you every bird on every wire?


F#           E           B   When the time comes,

    F#             E        BAnd rights have been read,

  F#           EI think of you often

      B            F#        E          BBut for once I meant what I said.

F#        E            B Here I stay, I lay me down,

    F#         E        BIn a house by a hill.

   F#              E     B     F#           E        B I'm dug from the rubble,    and cut from the kill.

F#         E            B Here I stay, I lay me down,

   F#         E          BIn a house by the Hill.

   F#              E     B     F#           E       BI'm dug from the rubble,    and cut from the kill.         (Times 3)
