Bird Song by Bert Jansch. It is in DADGAD and is quite intricate. I love this song. I have missed out the last verse about the dragonfly becuase as everyone knows a dragonfly is not a bird. Well ...

  • And loudly the eagle cries his song of war

    So piercing and shrill it strikes with fear

    Among the shepherds dear gentle lambs

    caring nothing for his concert

    And rarely the dragonfly doth grace the dawn,

    dancing among the flowers of spring

    his rainbow hues he hath/HAS hidden from view

    for WANT to guard his precious wings

  • See how the golden bird tries to fly

    He is so angry, beats his wings in vain.

    and the brightest jewels upon his back

    will not raise his head above the clouds

    Unlike the tiny sparrow, wild and free

    gathering small pieces to build his nest

    for he has nothing yet he can fly

    anywhere beneath God's skies

  • Such a tasteful performance of one of Bert's best! Would you be able to post the lyrics? I've been dying to play this, but I just can't understand Bert with all his mumbling.

  • really, really nice, Barry.
