Songbird - chords and lyrics

Assuming your guitar is tuned in correctly - you can press play and strum (or pluck) along to this.
Originally written by Christine McVie and performed by Fleetwood Mac, here is Songbird - sung by Hayley Westenra - off her Greatest Hits cd.
At the end of the chords and lyrics, I've added Eva Cassidy's version if you'd like a comparison.
Enjoy...

For another version that has that 'something' special in it's simplicity, you can't miss out viewing Bab's cover of Songbird. I wish I could play it like she does...

Cyndi Lauper - Time after Time - chords and lyrics

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper

Em  D       Em    D           Em     D         Em        D

Lyin' in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you

Em      D      Em  D    Em         D           Em      D

Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new        

G      A       F#m   G        A        F#m

Flash back, warm nights, almost left behind

G     A        F#m     G        A   

Suit case of memories time after

Em    D              Em      D          Em      D    Em   D 

Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead

Em      D       Em     D        Em   D                 Em        D 

You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said       

        G      A   F#m   G     A     F#m 

Then you say go slow    I fall behind

G     A                F#m       G   

The second hand unwinds  

Chorus

             A                                     Bm       G          A       D

If you're lost you can look and you will find me time after time

          A                             Bm     G           A      D 

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting time after time

Em    D              Em      D          Em      D    Em   D  

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey

Em    D                 Em         D        Em          D  Em   D  

Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm okay

G      A   F#m    G              A         F#m

Secrets  stolen  from deep inside     

G      A              F#m   G 

The drum beats out of time

Chorus once

        G      A   F#m   G     A     F#m 

Then you say go slow    I fall behind

G     A                F#m       G   

The second hand unwinds
