The Wooden Sky - This Bird Has Flown

      This Bird Has Flown - The Wooden Sky


*Capo 2nd and 4th fret
He plays it wit a capo on 2nd fret and a capo covering the high five strings to get the low F# note 
in the bass on the «Dm» chord (relative to capo 4th fret). just remember to fret the low E string 
on the E chord!
Also remember the high E string is tuned down to D, which makes the cool sound on the Am and F chords. 
But on the Dm, you will have to fret the 1st string on 3rd fret, not the 1st. also it sounds 
better to me fretting the 2nd fret, 1st string on the E chord.

D |-2-|  |-3-|  |---|  |-2--|
A |-0-|  |---|  |---|  |-2--|
E*|---|  |-1-|  |-0-|  |-0*-|

*  The capo on 4th fret does not cover this string. the "0" means the string is open, only pushed down by the 
   capo on 2nd fret. 
*  "0*" means what would be 0 from the capo on your 4th fret, which means you will have to 
   fret it with  
*  "1" is fretting what would normally be your 1st fret from the capo on 4th fret, which is the 5th fret 
   on the guitar, if you had no capo.

Take up a residence just off the coast and

Drown a year or two

Your new home up in flames

Well if I had a match then you'd be
E                                 Am
Certain that would change
