Joan Baez – Glad Bluebird Of Happiness (Guitar)

C                                E7
I was walking down the road, not caring much where I was going

  Dm                          G                              C
A heavy pack upon my back, my worldly goods within a sack of loneliness

                                        E7
When fluttered by this bird of blue, he said, "I'll tell you what I'll do

Dm                           G
Since you seem to be so sad, I will try and be your glad

            C
Bluebird of happiness."

            F                   C
And he goes flying out over the ocean blue

G                        C
Bound for places I'm not known to

C                           E7
I decided to follow him, my thoughts have faded dim since then

      Dm                         G
Blown foggy by the wind a paced, as from shore to shore we race

          C
Move from place to place

                                     E7
The moon is hot, the stars are cold. I've been there, that's how I know

     Dm
I've touched the desert sunset's coat

G7                                   C
Tasted of the melted snows of Kilimanjaro

            F                   C
And he goes flying out over the ocean blue

G7                       C
Bound for places I'm not known to

C                                       E7
I'll follow that bird until he dies and when he does then so will I

  Dm                           G
I know I'll never be the same, life for me is bound to change

           C
When death ends the chase

                                 E
I'll lift his body from the sea, pat him dry in a tradewind breeze

Dm                              G
Find some merry christmas hues, wrap him up and give him to you

               C
My bluebird of happiness

            F                   C
And he goes flying out over the ocean blue

G                        C
Bound for places I'm not known to
