[Intro] Bm E Bm E [Verse 1]
          Bm               E              Bm      E
There's a high flyin' bird, way up in the sky now

          Bm                   F#7          Bm
Yes and I wonder, if she looks down, as she flies, on by

           G                    A             F#7
Well she's riding on the air so easy, in the sky

             Bm  E
Lord look at me,

                  Bm          E
I'm rooted like a tree, yes I am now

            Bm        A          G           F#7       Bm    E
I got those sit down, can't cry, oh lord I'm gonna die blues
[Verse 2]
       Bm                 E                Bm  E
Well I used to love a man, He worked in a mine

        Bm             F#7                      Bm
Well he never saw the sun, but he never stopped tryin'

     G               A              F#m 
Well then one day my man, he up and died

              Bm   E
My man up and died

              Bm              E
My man up and died, oh yes he did now

        Bm        A            G           F#7        Bm  E
Well he wanted to fly, and the only way to fly was to die
