Bird Of Paradise

Saw you flying by

Flash of Turquoise Blue

I just had to try

To keep your life in view

My bird of paradise

Sweet bird of paradise

Wish that I could fly

I’d be beside you now

But I could only sigh

And watch you circle round

My bird of paradise/ sweet bird of paradise

My bird of paradise/ sweet bird of paradise

Bb C Dm riff

My bird of paradise

[a-c-d-f-d-c-d]

SOLO (over D riff and C Bb riff)

Saw you fly away

When will you come again

So I can watch you play

In the pouring rain

Repeat chorus and riff as previous chorus

Solo over Dm riff, to out
