_ _ _ _ _ [E]
[A] Walking along on a path in the mountain, I saw a bird flying way up [E] _ high.
_ [A] Gold were [F#m] his wings [D] in the sun [A] of the morning, [G] flashing [A] at me as [G] it flew through [E] the sky.
_ [A] Its beauty [F#m] was such that [D] I felt I [A] must have it, chased [F#m] it all day and [A] nearly into [E] the night.
_ [A] Finally [F#m] _ [D] angered that I [A] couldn't catch it, [G] determined [A] that I [G] would stop it [E] in flight.
_ _ [A] I [F#m] found a stone [D] by a mountain [E] stream [A] flowing, _ [F#m] rounded and smooth [A] by the water's [E] fast flow.
_ _ [A] It felt [F#m] so warm [D] and alive in [A] my hand.
[Em] [G] It [A] was an arrow, [G] my arm [E] was the bow.
_ [A] Then a [F#m] flashing of wings [D] and a cry [A] pierced the air.
It [F#m] fluttered and fell [A] on the rocks [Em] at my feet.
_ [A] _
[F#m] Weeping I lifted [Bm] the thing [Am] that had fallen.
[G] Blood [A] stained my [G] hands and tears [E] wet my cheeks.

[E] _ _ _ _ [A] Later [F#m] that night [D] as I lay [A] on my bed, I [F#m] heard the sound [A] of wings [E] in the air.
_ [A] The room [F#m] became bathed in [D] a warm [A] golden glow.
[G] I opened [A] my eyes [G] and a woman [E] stood there.
[A] Oh, didn't you [F#m] know when [D] you hurt me [A] so cruelly?
[F#m] I was your lover, [A] I was your [E] friend.
_ [A] You couldn't [F#m] stand it that [D] I [A] was so free.
[G] Now you [Am] will never [G] see me [E] again.
