Verse 1:
             C#m              G#m
In the delta sun, down in Arkansas
          F#m      E              C#m    B
It’s the great god bird with it’s alter call
                  C#m                  G#m
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
       F#m     E            C#m     B
On the great bayou were they saw it fall
        F#m        E           C#m     B
It’s the great god bird down in Arkansas
                   A   E               A    E
And the hunters beware, or the fishers fall
       A      G#m  F#m   E        B             F#m
And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed
         A    G#m  F#m   E         B (let ring)
It’s the great god bird through it all

Verse 2:
                    C#m                   G#m
And the watchers beware, lest they see it fall
        F#m         E            C#m      B
And paradise might laugh when at last it falls
                  A   E                A      E
And the sewing machine, the industrial god
         A     G#m F#m   E       B      F#m
It’s the great god bird with it’s alter call
              A     G#m F#m   E       B      F#m
Yes, it’s the great god bird with it’s alter call
              A     G#m F#m   E         B
Yes, it’s the great god bird through it all.
