[G]Oh little red bird
Come to my window [Em]sill
[G]Been so lonesome
Shaking that morning [Em]chill
[G]Oh little red bird
Open your mouth and [Em]say
[G]Been so lonesome
Just about flown [Em]away

Chorus:
[C]So long now I've been out
In the rain and [G]snow
[Em]But winter's come and gone
[(C)Em]A little bird told me s[G]o

Oh little blue bird
Pearly feather breast
Five cold nickels' all I got left
Oh little blue bird
What am I gonna do
Five cold nickels
Ain't gonna see me through

Chorus

Oh little black bird
On my wire line
Dark as trouble
In this heart of mine
Poor little black bird
Sings a worried song
Dark as trouble
'Til winter's come and gone

Chorus
