Verse 1:
D
You probably come from Canada
D         G                    D
Where the cold wind chased you down
D                        A
Is that a touch of snow upon your wings
        Bm               D
Are you headed southward bound
D
Move quickly wild bird
    G                 D
The hunter comes from town
D                   A
He longs to see you on his wall
A             Bm             D
You match his mantelpiece in brown
D
Faster wild bird
D   G             D
The sun is sinking down
D                     A
I’d love to ride your noble wings
A       Bm          D      
I would utter not a sound

G             A            D
There must be some kind of blue sky somewhere

God made especially for you
D               A
Children of the wild winds
Bm
Go there now
G                   A          D
Take what’s left of living for you

You probably come from Asia
D         G                 D
Where the seas are deep and clear
D                          A
When you rise to break the rolling waves
A         Bm              D        
Your body glistens like a mirror
D
Faster great blue one
D        G           D
It’s the fisherman I hear
D                       A
There’s a pretty price upon your head
A              Bm                D
They’re paying well for you this year
D
Faster great blue one
D    G                D
Your darkest storm is near

All your secrets I’d hold dear

Take what’s left of living for you

Where the cool air treats you right

Where you roam the sauntered mountains 
A       Bm       D
In your savage delight
D
Move quickly brave bear
D   G                   D
The builder scales your heights
D                        A
Your home to him’s worth millions now

So there’s nothing he won’t try

Faster brave bear

The moon is losing light
