Capo 2nd fret
 
 
 
[Intro]
A
 
 
[Chorus]
D                     A
I had a bird he flew away
E7               A7
And I guess he's gone to stay
    D                 A
But I see him winging on his way
   E7      D          A7        C
My flyaway bird named Yesterday
 
 
[Verse 1]
C             G           C
He's over the place of my birth
     D          A7          D
He's circling a spot that I know
     G                  D
He's hanging around the saw mill town
                        C       A7
Where the gentle summer breezes blow
 
 
[Chorus]
D                     A
I had a bird he flew away
E7               A7
And I guess he's gone to stay
    D                 A
But I see him winging on his way
   E7      D          A7        C
My flyaway bird named Yesterday
 
 
[Verse 2]
C           G    C           D           A7           D
He's riding on a train, he's down at the old swimming hole
      G                      D
He'll fly 'til he finds that old gang of mine
                             N.C.     A
Then he'll search for a tree    a big tall oak tree
           G                          C           A    A7
Then he'll look from his perch at the old country church
 
 
[Chorus]
D            A
I had a bird he flew away
E7               A7
And I guess he's gone to stay
    D                 A
But I see him winging on his way
   E7      D          A7
My flyaway bird named Yesterday
 
 
[Outro]
A7
