The bird has flown — Deep Purple

For the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand

All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the robber whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow

Bb -> B Bb -> B Bb -> B D5 E5 The sensation's not new to you Bb -> B Bb -> B Bb -> B D5 E5 It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Bb -> B Bb -> B Bb -> B D5 A Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown To a place on it's own Somewhere all alone

Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me

The sensation's not new to you It's something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown

Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the robber whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me
