Fly Like A Bird

Intro
G C D G

G
There was a howl that night
                          C
A howling like they never heard before
  D                               C            D
A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door
            G                                           C
He said, "I love this child as much as any one that she ever bore,
      D                                     G
But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more."

                                            C
Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he'd ever heard
   D                             C          D
In tones so beautiful he hung on every word
           G                                               C
She sang, "Hush, my love, granny's little dove is going to take to the sky."
       D                                        G
It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird.

        C                                       G
Now the years have passed and memories come and go
   C                                       D   D7
He hears that voice that rocked him gently so
  G                                                     C
A calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the darkest night
    D                                   G
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.

Well, the rain's gonna fall and the wind may blow on the darkest night
