[Intro]
C C7/Bb Dm
C C7/Bb Dm
[Verse 1]
C C7/Bb Dm
Word came through in a letter
C C7/Bb Dm
One of us changing our minds
C C7/Bb Dm/A Fm6/Ab
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send
F Fm/Ab
Letters to me that are mine
C Gm/Bb Dm
Told him I saw this coming
C Gm/Bb Dm
That I'd practically packed up my things
C Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but
F Fm/Ab
All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no
[Chorus]
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
And so here we go bluebird
C Am7 Em
Back to the sky on your own
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
Oh, let him go bluebird
Csus4/F
Ready to fly
Csus4/G C Gm/Bb Dm
You and I, here we go
C Gm/Bb Dm
Here we go
[Verse 2]
C Gm/Bb Dm
This pair of wings worn and rusted
C Gm/Bb Dm
From too many years by my side
C Gm/Bb
They can carry me swear to be
F/A Fm/Ab
Sturdy and strong but see
F Fm/Ab
Turning them on still means goodbye
[Chorus]
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
And so here we go bluebird
C Am7 Em
Gather your strength and rise up
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
Oh, let him go bluebird
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D Csus4/E
Oh, let him go bluebird
Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
Oh, let him go bluebird
Csus4/F Csus4/G
Ready to fly, you and I
C C7/Bb Dm
Here we go
C Gm/Bb Dm
Here we go
C Gm/Bb F/A Fm/Ab C
Here we go
