[Intro] Dmaj7Bm6Bmaj7G#m6Bm7
Today, my bird flew away,
Am7
Gone to find her big Blue Jay.
Bm7
Starlight before she took flight,
Am7C9
I sang a Lullaby Of Birdland everynight.
Bm7C9
I sang a lullaby everynight,
Bm7C9
Sang for my Ava everynight.
EmC#m7b5F#7B7
Ava was the morning, now she's gone,
EmCmaj7Am7D7
She's re-born like Sarah Vaughan.
EmC#m7b5F#7B7
In the sanctuary, she has found,
EmCmaj7Am7D7
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.
Bm7C9
And Ava flies, in paradise,
Bm7C9
And Ava flies, in paradise.
Bm7
With dread, I woke in my bed,
Am7
To shooting pains up in my head.
Bm7
Lovebird, my beautiful bird,
Am7
Spoke until one day,
C9
She couldn't be heard.
Bm7
She spoke until one day,
C9
She couldn't be heard,
Bm7C9
She just stopped singing.
EmC#m7b5F#7B7
Ava was the morning, now she's gone,
EmCmaj7Am7D7
She's re-born like Sarah Vaughan.
EmC#m7b5F#7B7
In the sanctuary, she has found,
EmCmaj7Am7D7
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.
Bm7C9
And Ava flies, in paradise,
Bm7C9
And Ava flies, in paradise.

And Ava flies, in paradise,

And Ava flies, in paradise.
