Wilco – Hummingbird (Guitar Live)

    A       Amaj7             A     Amaj7
His goal in life was to be an echo

A                  Amaj7            Bm
Riding alone, town after town, toll after toll

  Dm                                              A       Amaj7  A  Amaj7
A fixed bayonet through the great southwest to forget her

      A   Amaj7     C#m    E
She appears in his dreams

F#m                        F#mmaj7
But in his car and in his arms

                 Bm       Bm7
A dream can mean anything

  Dm                                     C
A cheap sunset on a television set can upset her

             E
But he never could

  C#m          E
Remember to remember me

  C#m           E7
Standing still in your past

E7b13                A
Floating fast like a hummingbird

    E       Emaj7              C#m     Emaj7
His goal in life was to be an echo

            E                                 Emaj7
The type of sound that floats around and then back down

       F#m
Like a feather

            Am
But in the deep chrome canyons of the loudest Manhattans

   E
No one could hear him

      B
Or anything

      E  Emaj7    G#m        B
So he slept on a mountain

     C#m                         G#/C#
In a sleeping bag underneath the stars

                       F#m         A/C#
He would lie awake and count them

        Am
And the gray fountain spray of the great Milky Way

            G
Would never let him

     B
Die alone

  E           Emaj7
Remember to remember me

C#m             E7
Standing still in your past

E7b13                 A
Floating fast like a hummingbird

  E           Emaj7
Remember to remember me

 C#m           E7
Standing still in your past

E7b13                A
Floating fast like a hummingbird

  B
A hummingbird
