(Remark: On the low E-string, I use the little finger for the "3"
 note, and the thumb for the "2" and "1". I also find the "4" note
 quite difficult to reach, so usually I play that as a "0".)


          Am                G                  D    F
There's a lump in my throat, and an ache in my heart

        Am               G                       D   F
There's tears in my eyes, 'cause we're an ocean apart

        Am                       G
There's nothing quite as real as being on my own,

D                        F
Nothing quite as true as being all alone

     Am             F
This bird has flown,

             D                         F
But when the summer has passed, she'll come back home


C                    G
Love, come wing your way,

Em                                  F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay

C                    G
Love, come wing your way,

Em                                  F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,

G#              Am
Stay with me forever


G  D  F  Am  G  D  F


       Am               G              D          F
With a change of season, she flies her nest

             Am         G                D   F
And like the sunny dusk, she sets to the west

Am                G             D               F
Loneliness is the cross I bear, solitude is the cloak I wear

  Am                      G
I miss you, I need you, I love you,

         D                     F
When the autumn comes, I'll be waiting for you


C                    G
Love, come wing your way,

Em                                  F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to stay

C                    G
Love, come wing your way,

Em                                  F
Sweet bird of passage, come home to lay with me, me,

G#              Am   F     G    Em    F    Dm    E7
Stay with me forever,  and ever,  and ever,  and ever


Am  F  G  Em  F  Dm  E7  (Repeat till end)
