The Bird (CHORDS) by Anderson .Paak
[Hook]~
Am
A bird with the word came to me
D
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
C
And now I look what's taking over me
C
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
F7
I had to wake up just to make it through
F7
I got my patience and I'm making do
D7
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
D7
I choose to follow what the greatest do
