Hummingbird (Wilco)
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 x2
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
His goal in life was to be an echo
C Em Dm
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll
Fm C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her
C Cmaj7 Em G
She appears in his dreams
Am Am(Maj7)
But in his car and in his arms
Dm Dm/F
A dream can mean anything
Fm Eb
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her
G
But he never could
[Chorus]
Em E/D
Remember to remember me
Em E/D
Standing still in your past
E/D# C
Floating fast like a hummingbird
[Verse]
G G/F# Em G/F#
His goal in life was to be an echo
G G/F#
The type of sound that floats around and then back down
Am
Like a feather
Cm
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans
G
No one could hear him
D
Or anything
G G/F# Bm D
So he slept on a mountain
Em Em/F#
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars
Am C
He would lie awake and count them
Cm
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way
Bb
Would never let him
D
Die alone
[Chorus]
G Bm
Remember to remember me
Em G7
Standing still in your past
C D
Floating fast like a hummingbird
G Bm
Remember to remember me
Em G7
Standing still in your past
C D
Floating fast like a hummingbird
A hummingbird
A hummingbird
(Violin part)
