Fragile Bird Chords & Tabs
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

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
