Herman Brood - Sleepin' Bird
D play these chords
G D A four times
G Bm
He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey
A F#
ridin' the desert for a million miles a day
Gm Bm
And there ain't no barricades anymore
A F#
between the mountains and the very floor
G D A
Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood
G D A
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)
Chorus:
D G D A
Never seen, he was never heard
D G D A
passin' by like a sleepin' bird
G Bm
He took his time, when they shot him through the head
A F#
before he hit the floor the boy was cold and dead
G Bm
one day someone is gonna plead against your name
A F#
he won't mark if you win or lose, or how you'll play the game
G D A
One day someone is gonna plead against your style
G D A
So uptight - he just can't take away your smile
he was
Chorus:
D G D A \
Never seen, he was never heard \
D G D A play twice
passin' by like a sleepin' bird /
G D A
Dark spot as he quits the neighbourhood
G D A
leavin' it all in a shadow of blood
Solo (play the following chords twice):
D
F#m
G
A
G D A
Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin' down
G D A
skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round
Chorus:
D G D A \
Never seen, he was never heard \
D G D A play until the song fades out
passin' by like a sleepin' bird /
