The finger picking pattern is up to you to figure out. I don't know how to explain it well enough. That's the key, though. Let your ears teach your fingers, just like they taught your tounge how to talk! G C G C Little bird come and sat upon my window sill. G C D Sat there thru the pourin' rain G C G C As I watched that little bird upon my window sill G D G I saw my thoughts of you go by again CHORUS: C D G Em C And a picture of my face reflected on the pane D G Is it tears or is it rain? I remember how we talked before we said goodby To young to notice the world outside our door And how we laughed and said our love was free Like birds that fly the winds Well the rainy day made me think of you once more Viva Terlingua chorus: Picture of my face, on the window pane Is it tears I see, or is it rain I have no regrets about the past I see how young we were When our world was love and life was but a thought Many things go many ways and many times but once Our lives have passed and that love is but a thought CHORUS So as the thoughts go tumblin' back I wonder how you loved Wonder if you've seen that little bird I wonder if he's sat upon your window sill I wonder if you'll ever hear these words NOTE: The Mr Bo. and LAGH version open up with G to C, G to C like the verses. The VT! verson opens with (chord wise) the chords to the chorus. In between the chorus and the verses it's the chords to the chorus on all of 'em. This might be my fave. JJ song. he always says it was the 2nd song he ever wrote. who knows... Michael
