Firebird


This lullaby was written, appropriately enough, on a late night where Fyfe couldn't sleep for the tune waltzing around his head. The fiendishly unexpected Am in the verse (instead of something sane, like F or C) gives it its peculiar quality. Gm Bb Am D Firebird come into me tonight Stay awake with me through this dark night We can ride til the morning light Eb D Bb C On a bicycle made for two Eb D Gm On a bicycle made for two Gm Bb Am D Hush for the baby he's asleep in the hay And if we should wake him we'll be turned stony grey Silence is golden and it's ours today Eb D Bb C On a bicycle made for two Eb D Gm On a bicycle made for two Eb Some come higher, some come low Bb Some come demon-faced, some come slow Eb C Some come beautiful, helpless and warm F Cm Eb D like the first drop of water after the storm Instr - verse chords Firebird stay with me tonight All the world is asleep The world is alright And as long as you're mine we can conquer light On a bicycle made for two On a bicycle made for two
