[Verse 1]
 
           Ab                               Db   Dbadd9  Db
You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
  Ab                            Eb
I saw it as you flew between my reason
       Bbm                     Bbm/C    Db   Dbadd9  Db
Like a raven in the night time when you left
         Ab                                Db   Dbadd9  Db
I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name
Ab                     Eb
You touched it and you wore it
        Bbm             Bbm/C          Db
And you kept it in your pillow all the same
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Db Dbadd9 Db     Ab       Absus4     Ab  Ebsus4/Ab  Eb
My high   flying bird has flown from out my         arms
                     Bbm
I thought myself her keeper
                        Eb
She thought I meant her harm
    Eb7               Ab
She thought I was the archer
  Absus4  Ab  Ebsus4/Ab  Eb
A weather man of         words
                  Bbm   Bbm/Ab  Gb  Db
But I could never shoot down    Ohh Ohh
   Dbadd9 Db     Ab
My high   flying bird

    Ab                  Absus4   Ab       Db                      Dbadd9  Db
The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red
    Ab                              Eb
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
    Bbm                Bbm/C    Db
Mmm     In the foreign field of death
   Ab             Absus4  Ab     Db                  Dbadd9  Db
Oh wouldn't it be wonder  ful is all I heard you say
          Ab                                            Eb
You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight
Bbm         Bbm/C  Db
Instead you moved  away
 
 
[Chorus]

I thought myself her keeper
                        Eb
She thought I meant her harm
    Eb7               Ab
She thought I was the archer
  Absus4  Ab  Ebsus4/Ab  Eb
A weather man of         words

But I could never shoot down    Ohh Ohh

But I could never shoot down    Ohh Ohh

My high   flying bird
 
[Outro]
 
   Ab           Absus4  Ab     Db   Dbadd9  Db
My high-flying, high   -flying bird
   Ab           Absus4  Ab     Db   Dbadd9  Db
My high-flying, high   -flying bird
   Ab           Absus4  Ab     Db   Dbadd9  Db
My high-flying, high   -flying bird
   Ab           Absus4  Ab     Db    Ab
My high-flying, high   -flying bird
              You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
I saw it as you flew between my reason
Like a raven in the night time when you left
I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name
You touched it and you wore it
And you kept it in your pillow all the same

My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought I meant her harm
She thought I was the archer
A weather man of words
But I could never shoot down
My high-flying bird

The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
In the foreign field of death
Wouldn't it be wonderful is all I heard you say
You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight
Instead you moved away

My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought I meant her harm
She thought I was the archer
A weather man of words
But I could never shoot down
My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought I meant her harm
She thought I was the archer
A weather man of words
But I could never shoot down
My high-flying bird

My high-flying, high-flying bird
My high-flying, high-flying bird
My high-flying, high-flying bird
My high-flying, high-flying bird
