CAPO: 2nd Fret INTRO: G Em Am D G Em Rare bird, I know your loneliness Am D Born into a crowded nest and given away G Em Solitaire girl, your voice crying in the wilderness Am D Where suffering brings holiness, at least that's what they say Am Em D Rare bird, I wish you good company G Em Rare bird I know your sorrow Am D It rings a little hollow with every passing day G Em It's not fair girl, they want a piece of all of you Am D To form a line and follow you with every word that you say Am Em D Rare bird, I wish you sanctuary Am With your razor-wire and pitfalls My way of climbing walls Em And finding where the china dolls are hidden Am Words can be misunderstood My intentions were all good D There's nothing here not worth forgiving INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am D Am Em D Am I'm not the kind to hover near Or stand in line to catch your ear Em But I just want to get things clear between us Am I know how to disappear And leave by the backdoor dear D Make sure that no one here has seen us G Em Rare bird, I don't want you to go down Am D Here on the poor side of town, there's nothing left to say G Em Just this prayer girl, we'll go on from here unbound Am D Meet again on higher ground, some uncloudy day Am Em D Rare bird, just a little prayer from me OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##) Am Em D Rare bird Am Em D Rare bird Am Em D Rare bird Am Em D Rare bird
