Hummingbird

...HUMMINGBIRD... by Cat Stevens

*from 'Matthew & Son' (1967)*

(Original Key: D)

Intro:

Verse 1:

There's a yellow flower, by your bed;

Sadly drooping it's perfumed head.

So you won't smell it; I know what you'll miss.

Chorus 1:

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,

A hummingbird, A hummingbird.

Oh there's a hummingbird, singing.

Verse 2:

There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore;

Lying down on the cold dirty floor.

The colours are fading; they'll never shine a-gain.

Chorus 2:

And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,

A hummingbird, A hummingbird.

Oh there's a hummingbird, singing.

Interlude:

Instrumental:

C G, C F, C G F, C F C

Verse 3:

Now the road, it's turning grey;

There's a shadow where you once lay.

They'll find it to-morrow, and think you went a-lone.

Chorus 3:

But there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird,

A hummingbird, A hummingbird.

Oh there's a hummingbird, crying.
