KING OF BIRDS

Original chords by: ?
Corrections from: the-concourse-on-high


{Play the "D" chord like this: xx0235
And play around with it, like descending on that high E string (frets-5,3,2)
through one line of verse.}


Intro : D

D
A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.
F# A D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly

Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old don't lay so still you're not yet young)
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold

A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away

D
I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold
F# A D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away.

Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.
