[D]
[A]
[A] If I was a bolt of lightning I would shoot right down and split the sky in two
And I would be so bright I would light up the darkest night
[G] Well maybe I'll [F#m] come back as one [Bm] I think it would [A] be lots of fun
[Bm] To zap the [C#] earth and strike the [Bm] sea With a billion volts of energy
[A]
And if I was a bird [C#] out on the wing The sweetest song you'd [A] hear me sing
I would whistle sounds like secret words In a language no one's ever heard
[Bm] The tune around [F#m] the reel would ring [Bm] So [B] mesmerizing you would think
[Bm] That I was something quite absurd More like [A] an angel than a bird
But today I [C#m] don't want [F#m] to be anything [E] [G#] else but [Bm] myself
Cause today I am a little bit of all these [Bm] things There's a little bit of [A] all these things in [D] me
I got it [A] all right here in my hand [Bm] I'm a lightning bird, [A] wind river man
And if I was a [D] gust of wind I'd blow around the world three [A] times or so
I would pick up [D] half a million leaves And make a sculpture on the breeze
[Bm] So beautiful [F#m] that God himself [Bm] Would want to [F#m] know how to as [Bm] well
He'd offer me a handsome price Just to be [A] the wind in paradise
[A] And if I was a [D] river I would be a raging river [A] wild and free
I would [D] find my way round anything Just to get to where [A] I was going
[Bm] So treacherous would be my ride You'd never [F#m] try to cross my [Bm] path
I'd run so fast into the sea You'd see the [A] waves from Mercury
[F#m]
[A] But today I [C#m] don't want to be [F#m] anything [C#m]
else but [Bm] myself
Cause today I am a little [E] bit of all these things [Bm] There's a little bit of [Am] all these things in [Bm] me
I got it all right here in my hand I'm a lightning [A] bird, wind river man
Yesterday [C#] I don't [C#m] [F#] want to be
[C#] anything else but [B] myself
Cause [Bm] today I am a little [A] bit of all these [Bm] things There's a little bit of [A] all these things in [Bm] me
