E            E5+           E6             E7              A
When I was a little child, I once found a bird lying on the ground.

   Am              E          A Am
It would not ever fly, again.

   E               E5+            E6            E7              A
I held the bird up in my hands, I shed my tears over the lovely song

         Am              E      A Am
that not longer could be heard.
[Refrain]
C#m                  A    (2x) 
Uhh...Never learn to fly
[Verse]
      E            E5+            E6              E7             A
With dirty hands I dug a hole and gently laid the bird to rest in soil:

  Am                        E     A Am
A wound in the tear stained mud.

   E                   E5+           E6           E7
My tears wore rain as I revealed the secrets of a tree.

          A        Am                   E       A Am
A cross of bark to speak through wooden grains:
[Refrain]
C#m                  A    (2x) 
Uhh...Never learn to fly
[Bridge]
  F#m               A/E             D#m7b5          D7+
I sang a song which I remembered my grandma used to sing

    C#m            B4               F#/Bb  A
For me, when I was sick and laid in bed.

       F#m                  A/E          D#m7b5      D7+
Then I cursed that day for showing me my own mortality

    C#m              B4                 F#/Bb   A
For then I knew that all that lives turns cold.  

A    B   Bbm  F# Fm D# D#m C#
Cold and dead...

   C#m A   B    A   B      A     B       C#m
...and now time has passed by beneath my wings.
[Solo] C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m C G/B [Bridge]
Am
That was then I'm older now,

Am
but still I can't forget that rainy day.

Am
I raged against the ending times,

Am
though some day soon my son will maybe

Cm
Find the tree I cleansed of skin, 

Cm
no chain-sling will ever climb it's rotten limbs.

Cm
And when the time has come for me to die,

Cm                        C#m  A
I want to lie beside that bird.
C#m A [Refrain]
C#m                  A    (2x) 
Uhh...Never learn to fly
[Outro]
E            E5+            E6             E7               A
When I was a little child, I once found myself dying on the ground

    Am                 E
and now I'll never... Fly...
