[Chorus]
E                  C#m           A
Poor little robin, down with the blues
                       C
She could make a grown man cry
E         F#m           C#m   F#m
Dirty old city's got me on my knees
               Bm          E
Reaching for a clear blue sky


[Verse 1]
E                 C#m
Thoughts of mine, standing in line
A                 C
Waiting for a matinee
E        F#m           C#m      A
Box kite hanging on my bedroom wall
F#m                 E
Waiting for a windy day

              F#m
Dear friends, please understand
A                         C
Something's got a hold on me
E           F#m            A
Springtime, she leaves you behind
        C#m          Am       E
But she never really sets you free


[Bridge]
         F#m
Well the day is done, your work's all done
                              D
You're looking for a place to be
A
Day is done and you reach for the sun
                             F#          B
You've already begun to feel lonely, oh lonely


[Chorus]
E                  F#m
Poor little robin, tears in her eyes
Am                      C
Singing like it hurt so bad
E             F#m
She's got the way of making you feel
A                              E
Like I'm the only friend she's had

[Solo]
C#m Am A   C E F#m   B E

[Bridge]
F#m
Now the day is done, your work's all done
                              D
You're looking for a place to be
A
Day is done and you reach for the sun
                             F#         B
You've already begun to feel lonely, oh lonely


[Chorus]
E                  C#m           Am
Poor little robin, down with the blues
A                      C
She could make a grown man cry
E         F#m           C#     A
Dirty old city's got me on my knees
                     E        Am A C
Reaching for a clear blue sky
