Little Bird
words and music by JJW
 
play this open to play along with the version on "Mr Bojangles", 
with a capo on the 4th fret to play along with the version on VT! and 
with a capo at the 2nd fret to  "    "     "    "     " on Live at Gruene...

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...
