[VERSE 1]
D G
The song of the bluebird
C G
Buried in the dust
D Bm A
Did you once hear how she cried?
G D
Though the years may have passed her
Bm Em
in tears and in laughter,
G Bm A
There's a song that she left behind
[VERSE 2]
D G
My father's own father
C G
Sailed through the air,
D Bm A
And he found enemies in the sky,
G D
But for all that surrounds us,
Bm Em
that anchors and binds us,
G Bm A
There's a song that we carry inside
[CHORUS]
G D Bm A
Oh, wi--ld is the wind in the night
G D Bm
Oh, wi--ld am I
G D Bm A
I wait until the day begins,
G D Bm
and wi--ld is my cry
[INTERLUDE]

[VERSE 3]
D G
The song of the bluebird
C G
Carried on the wind,
D Bm A
Leaving our worries behind,
G D
Over highways and hilltops
Bm Em
where we long to go,
G Bm A
But a song is all we can find
[CHORUS]
G D Bm A
Oh, wi--ld is the wind in the night
G D Bm
Oh, wi--ld am I
G D Bm A
I wait until the day begins,
G D Bm
and wi--ld is my cry
