Hummingbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]His[Em] goal[C][Em]
[C]in lif[Em]e
was to be [C]an [Em]echo
[C]Riding alone, town [Em]after town, [C]toll [Dm]after toll
A [Fm]fixed bayonet through the great
southwest to forget [C]her
[Em][C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
She ap[C]pears in his [Em]dreams[G]
[Am]But in his car and in his arms
A dream can mean any[Dm]thing[F]
[Fm]A cheap sunset on a television
set can [Eb]upset her
But he never could
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Remember [G]to remember me
[Em]Standing still in yo[G]ur past
[Baug]Floating fast [G]like a hum[C]mingbird

[Verse 4]
His [G]goal in life was to be an [Em]echo[D]
The type of [G]sound that floats
around and then back down
Like a [Am]feather
But in the [Cm]deep chrome canyons
of the loudest Manhattans
No [G]one could hear him
Or any[D]thing

[Verse 5]
So [G]he slept on a moun[Bm]tain[D]
In a sleep[Em]ing bag underneath
the stars
He would lie awake an
[Am]d count [C]them
And the gray [Cm]fountain spray
of the great Milky Way
Would never [Bb]let him
Die [D]alone

[Verse 6]
[G]Re member to remember me
[Em]Standing still in your[G] past
Floating fast like a [C]hummingbird[G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Remember to remem[Bm]ber me
[Em]Standing still in yo[G]ur past
[Baug]Floating fast like a [C]hummingbird

[Verse 8]
A [D]hummingbird
A hum[G]mingbird
