You wore a  
Ab 
little cross of gold around you
Db 
neck,
 
I  
Ab 
saw it as you flew between my  
Eb 
reason.
 
Like a  
Bbm 
raven in the night time when you l
Db 
eft.
 
I wear a  
Ab 
chain upon my wrist that bears no n
Db 
ame,
Ab 
You touched it and you  
Eb 
wore 
 
it,
 
And you  
Bbm 
kept it in your pillow, all the  
Db 
same.

My high-flying  
Ab 
bird has flown from  
C 
out 
 
my
Db 
arms,
 
I thought myself her  
Bbm 
keeper,
 
She thought I meant her  
Eb 
harm,
 
She  
Db/Eb 
thought I was the  
Ab 
archer,
 
A weather  
C 
man 
 
of
Db 
words,
 
But I could  
Fm/C 
never 
 
 
Bbm 
shoot 
 
 
Db/Ab 
down,

My high-flying  
Ab 
bird.

The  
Ab 
white walls of your dressing room are  
Db 
stained in scarlet red.
 
You  
Ab 
bled upon the cold stone like a young  
Eb 
man.
Bbm 
In the foreign field of  
Db 
death.
Ab 
Wouldn’t it be wonderful is  
Db 
all I have to say,
 
You never  
Ab 
closed your eyes at night and learnt to love  
Eb 
daylight.
Bbm 
Instead, you moved  
Db 
away.
