(Remark: On the low E-string, I use the little finger for the "3"
note, and the thumb for the "2" and "1". I also find the "4" note
quite difficult to reach, so usually I play that as a "0".)
Am G D F
There's a lump in my throat, and an ache in my heart
Am G D F
There's tears in my eyes, 'cause we're an ocean apart

Am G
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own,
D F
Nothing quite as true as being all alone
Am F
This bird has flown,
D F
But when the summer has passed, she'll come back home
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
G# Am
Stay with me forever
G D F Am G D F
Am G D F
With a change of season, she flies her nest
Am G D F
And like the sunny dusk, she sets to the west
Am G D F
Loneliness is the cross I bear, solitude is the cloak I wear
Am G
I miss you, I need you, I love you,
D F
When the autumn comes, I'll be waiting for you
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay
C G
Love, come wing your way,
Em F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,
G# Am F G Em F Dm E7
Stay with me forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
Am F G Em F Dm E7 (Repeat till end)
