Eb Eb/D Cm F Bb F/A

Well I saw a bird today

Gm Gm/F Eb

Flying from a bush

Cm F F4 F

And the wind blew it away

Dm G C

And the black-eyed mother Sun

G/B Am

Scorched the butterfly at play

Am/G F Dm

Velvet Veined

G G/F

I saw it burn

Eb Cm Bb

With a wintry storm-blown sigh

Ab Fm Bb Eb Eb/G

A silver cloud blew right on by

Bb Gm

And, taking in the morning

F F4 F

I sang

Bb Bb/A Gm Gm/F Eb

O Requiem

Eb Eb/D Cm F Bb

Well, my lady told me: Stay

F/A Gm Gm/F Eb Cm

I looked aside and walked away

F F4 F

Along the Strand

Dm G C

But I didn't say a word,

G/B Am

As the train time-table blurred

Am/G F Dm

Close behind

G G/F

The Taxi stand

Eb Cm

Saw her face in the tear-drop

Bb

Black cab window

Ab Fm

Fading in to the traffic,

Bb Eb

Watched her go

Eb/G Bb Gm

And taking in the morning,

Eb F F4 F

Heard myself singing

Bb

O Requiem

Bb Bb/A Gm

Here I go again

Gm Gm/F Eb

It's the same old story
