Wild Birds
by Jan Harmon
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Lights flicker on in a town 'neath the mountain
F G
where night first comes down, like a patch of black satin.
C Dm
And the road seems too long between Casper and Jackson
F G
when you're tired of traveling alone.
[Chorus]
F C
Blackthorne and Cottonwood drink up the Muddy.
G C C7
Just buckwheat and sky between Cheyenne and Cody.
F Dm C Am
Like a maple wing sown under red leaves blown down
G C
it's time to be going back home.
[Verse 2]
C Dm
I crossed the Wind River on my way to Big Timber.
F G
People were friendly. The aspen was amber.
C Dm
Folks sang all the choruses they could remember.
F G
And I slept in a room of my own.
[Chorus]
F C
Blackthorne and Cottonwood drink up the Muddy.
G C C7
Just buckwheat and sky between Cheyenne and Cody.
F Dm C Am
Like a maple wing sown under red leaves blown down
G C
it's time to be going back home.
[Verse 3]
C Dm
And all by the road-side the wild birds fly
F G
up out of the thistle and into the sky.
C Dm
Red birds .. Black birds .. They sing as they fly.
F G
Thank heaven for the wild birds!
[Chorus 2]
F C
They're all dressed up in feathers with colors outrageous!
