Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu High Flying Bird Oleh Elton John

High-Flying Bird
by Elton John & Bernie Taupin
Taken from “Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This song was originally played in Ab. I have shifted it down one key to make it
easier to play and sing. If you want it back in its original key, you can always use a
capo or transpose back up.

(G Fma7 C Fma7 C) x 2

You wore a

little cross of gold around your neck,

I

saw it as you flew between my reasons,

Like a

raven in the night time when you left.

I wear a

chain upon my wrist that bears no name,

You touched it and you wore it,

And you

kept it in your pillow all the same.

My high-flying

bird has flown from out my arms,

I thought myself her

keeper,

She thought I meant her

harm,

She thought I was the

archer,

A weather man of

words,

But I could never

shoot down,

My high-flying

bird.

The

white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red.

You

bled upon the cold stone like a young man,

In the foreign field of death.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful is all I heard you say,

You never

closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight,

Instead you moved away.

My high-flying

bird has flown from out my arms,

I thought myself her

keeper,

She thought I meant her

harm,

She thought I was the

archer,

A weather man of

words,

But I could never

shoot down,

My high-flying

bird has flown from out my arms,

I thought myself her

keeper,

She thought I meant her

harm,

She thought I was the

archer,

A weather man of

words,

But I could never

shoot down,

My high-flying

bird.

My

high-flying, high-flying bird.

My

high-flying, high-flying bird.

My

high-flying, high-flying bird.

This is probably my favorite song on the “Don’t Shoot Me” album.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
