Rain bird dives throught the hole
In a broken guitar

Like a stranded insect
Stuck in a bowl of glue

He tries to fly
But he will die
F
If he ever leaves the zoo
- restart A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird / Rain Bird
Rain bird swoops through the
Chimney pots and rain
Rain bird flies to the edge of a gilded cage
Hiding in the spotlights
Of a famous stage
F7(add B) - stick again
He tries to become invisible
F
Whilst stealing the front page
- restart A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird / Rain Bird
F
When you were a boy
Bsus2
You used to wish for this
F
But like the cat who turns his nose
Bsus2
Up at the dish
F Bsus2
Now that you have it
You want to give it away
- no chord
When you had to work so hard
Slogging for a pittance
In a boot and shoe yard
F Bsus2
That`s when you wanted
What you now give away
F Bsus2 E - no lyrics
- repeat A(add B) sequence
Rain Bird
You`re all the rage, bird
Rain Bird
You`re all the rage, bird
- end on F
-David J
