lyrics

Missouri Birds John Stewart

(Cj7) (Fj7) (Cj7) (Fj7) (G)
Missouri (Cj7)birds, (Fj7) (Cj7)
Flying over (Fj7)old Saint Louis, (Cj7)
Hear that song they're (Fj7)singing to me, (E)
”Go into the (Am)world (G)
While (Cj7)you're young.” (Fj7) (G)

But the preacher's (Cj7)words (Fj7) (Cj7)
Echo from the (Fj7)old church steeple, (Cj7)
"Stay here with the (Fj7)decent people, (E)
Settle down and (Am)marry (G)
While (Cj7)you're young." (high notes run: EEDBC)(Am)

If I (Gm)go into the (C)world, Su(C7)sanna,
Oh, (F)will you (G)wait for (Cj7)me? (Am)
If I (Bb)go in(Gm)to the (C)world, Su(Gm7)sanna, (Cm7) (hold)
I'll come back (Fj7) (hold)
And tell you what I've (E)seen…(hold)

The (Fj7)seeds (G)of (Cj7)change (Fj7) (Cj7)
Blow across the (Fj7)churchyard to me, (Cj7)
Tombstone faces (Fj7)see right through me, (E)
Today's so soon to(Am)morrow, (G)
And (Cj7)you're old. (high notes run: EEDBC)(Am)

If I (Gm)go into the (C)world, Su(C7)sanna,
Oh, (F)will you (G)wait for (Cj7)me? (Am)
If I (Bb)go in(Gm)to the (C)world, Su(Gm7)sanna, (Cm7) (hold)
I'll come back (Fj7) (hold)
And tell you what I've (E)seen…(hold)

Mis(Fj7)sou(G)ri (Cj7)birds, (Fj7) (Cj7)
Flying over (Fj7)old Saint Louis, (Cj7)
Hear that song they're (Fj7)singing to me, (E)
”Go into the (Am)world (G)
While (Cj7)you're young, (Fj7) (G)
While (Cj7)you're young, (Fj7) (G)
While (Cj7)you´re young.” (Fj7) (G) (Cj7)

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
