INTRO: G D C G Well I'm just(G)sitting here(Am)drinking(C)and a-(G)thinking No I don't feel like(Am)joking with the(D)boys Yes and(G)I am(Am)feeling(C)rather(G)lonely And I'm growing somewhat(Am)tired of(D)all the(G)noise (C) (G) CHORUS: O, Birds of Joy please fly down to the shoulders And grab a hold of my old and threadbare coat And spread your wings and lift me to the Heavens Happy sky where I will rise forever more I left home now was it March or April Left alone to make the wind go still But the wind I know is mightier than I So I humbly ask you spirit in the sky (CHORUS) Now this train that I' riding rolls along And it rolls in spite of all that must go wrong Like this train the (?) is no more rain (?) the fire and let me whistle once again (CHORUS) Happy sky where I will rise forever more. (G-C-G-D-G) I was wondering if anyone knew who wrote the song. I hope it's okay that I included the chords. I personally put a capo on fret 3 to suit my voice. |

You can hear it on Spotify. It's also on YouTube and on Dave Gunning's MySpace page. Discogs.com says it was written by Paul Brady and Stu Cisco, and so does www.ascap.com. |
