The intro pattern pretty much repeats throughout the song. Standard tuning, unlike
almost every other Tallest Man song. I'm not quite sure about the lyrics, but I
think the rest is pretty accurate.

Verse:
Dm G C F
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Dm G C F
Though I am nothing big to offer
Dm G C F
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
E F Gsus4 G
It's like nothing in this world's ever still
Dm G C F
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
Dm G C F
But sun is setting, shadows growing
Dm G C F
A long cast figure will turn into night
E F Gsus4 G
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Chorus:
C F G C (C/B)
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
Am F Gsus4 G
And why can't that always be
C F G C (C/B)
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Am F Gsus4 G
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me
Dm G C F x2
Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old
Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as chorus)
C F G C (C/B)
Am F Gsus4 G
Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
(same as the intro)
Dm G C F x6
