Oasis - Songbird

  • Short, sweet little song from the Manchester band with only three (two at a push) chords!

  • Note the 'unusual' D chord fingering. Give it a go you might find it easier to get from one chord to another? If not then you can always revert to the standard 1230 fingering!

 

First the chords;

Now the counting..it's all very cyclic - round and round!

G       |G      D |Em      |Em     D |

12345678|123456 78|12345678|123456 78|

 

...simply repeat round and round!

It's in the same key as the original so jam along...or sing your own version with the lyrics below!

 


 
Songbird by Oasis

[Verse 1]

G     
Talking to the songbird yesterday
                       D     Em
Flew me to a place not far   away

She's a little pilot in my mind
                         D        G
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
                          D        Em
Give her all the love she gives to me

Talk of better days that have yet to come
                               D       G
I've never felt this love from any  -  one

[Chorus]
G
She's not anyone
          D    Em
She's not any  one
                    D    G
She's not anyone

[Verse 2]

G  
A man can never dream these kind of things
                             D         Em
Especially when she came and spread her wings

Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
                     D      G
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
                          D        Em
Give her all the love she gives to me

Talk of better days that have yet to come
                          D   G
Never felt this love from any-one

[Chorus]

G
She's not anyone
          D    Em
She's not any  one
                    D    G
She's not anyone

[Outro]

G D Em D G
  D Em D G
