Intro: C F C
C
You came with the season, as the first swallow sang
a brown headed stranger, with a five-letter name
F Dm C
dooodoodoo
C
We planted our kisses where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings and I flew all the way home
F Dm C
dooodoodoo
Am F C
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
Am F C
straight to the heat of your skin
Am F
and I know our days are numbered,
C F
early bird of the summer
C G C
you'll fly south just as the fall begins
C
The leaves changed their colors and the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches barely keeps out the chill
F Dm C
dooodoodoo
C
You sent me a postcard from a town out of state,
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're the same
F Dm C
dooodoodoo
Am F C
The fields where we wandered were golden
Am F C
Now only muddy my boots
Am F
and I know I should recover,
C F
you're a bird of the summer,
C G C
I was wrong to try and capture you

D, E, C - 2x -
Am F C
Gone is the pale hand of winter
Am F C
Here is the first flush of may
Am F
And soon I will discover
C F
whether birds of the summer
C G C
fly in circles or just fly away
