Rain Bird / Rain Bird
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/love_and_rockets/rainbird_crd.html ]
Rain bird swoops through the
Chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights
Of a famous stage
F#7(add B) - stick again
He tries to become invisible
F#
Whilst stealing the front page
- restart A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird
F#
When you were a boy
Bsus2
You used to wish for this
F#
But like the cat who turns his nose
Bsus2
Up at the dish
F# Bsus2
Now that you have it
You want to give it away
- no chord
When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance
In a boot and shoe yard
F# Bsus2
That's when you wanted
What you now give away
F# Bsus2 E - no lyrics
- repeat A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
Rain Bird
You're all the rage, bird
- end on F#
-David J
