[Intro]
C / C/Bb / Dm / Dm Dm/G
C / C/Bb / Dm / Dm Dm/G
 
[Verse]
C         C/Bb        Dm    Dm/G
Word came through in a letter
C         C/Bb        Dm
One of us changing our minds
    Dm/G    C             C/Bb       Dm7/A    Dm7-5/Ab
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send
F                 F/G   Ab6
Letters to me that are mine
C        Gm/Bb      Dm
Told him I saw this coming
  Dm/G    C           Gm/Bb        Dm
That I'd practically packed up my things
  Dm/G  C          Gm/Bb         F/A        Fm/Ab
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but
    F6                       Fm6/Ab
All honesty knows: I wasn't ready, no
 
[Chorus]
Fsus2  C11/E     Dm11    Dm11/G
And so here we go bluebird
C           Am7   Am7/B   Em
Back to the sky on your own
Fsus2 C11/E     Dm11
Oh, let him go bluebird
Fsus2
Ready to fly
G7sus4             C  Gm/Bb  Dm
You and I, here we go
 Dm/G    C  Gm/Bb  Dm  Dm/G
Here we go
 
[Verse]
C            Gm/Bb          Dm
This pair of wings worn and rusted
Dm/G  C        Gm/Bb       Dm
From too many years by my side
  Dm/G    C        Gm/Bb
They can carry me swear to be
F/A        Fm/Ab
Sturdy and strong but see
Dm7/F            Dm7/G        Dm7-5/Ab  Dm7-5/Eb
Turning them on still means goodbye
 
[Chorus]
    F  C/E         Dm7  Dm7/G
And so here we go bluebird
C/G         Am7          Em
Gather your strength and rise up
Fsus2 C11/E     Dm11 Dm11/E
Oh, let him go bluebird
Fsus2 C11/E C11/A Dm11 C11/E C11
Oh, let him go bluebird
Fsus2 C11/E C11/A Dm11 Dm11/A
Oh, let him go bluebird
 
[Outro]
Fsus2         G7sus4
Ready to fly, you and I
         C  C/Bb  Dm
Here we go
 Dm/G    C  Gm/Bb Dm
Here we go
 Dm/G    C  Gm/Bb F/A Fm9/Ab C
Here, we go

Beautiful song, perfect tab, although not all of the chords r necessary, if u simplify it, it is much easier, but really beautiful without as well
