Music Downloads: Bird
Bird was the Saucers' first YouTube hit, a slow number which is intended to be played by a rock band complete with lead, rhythm and bass guitars. That might happen some time if suitable volunteers can be found.
But there's another difficulty with Bird; in reality it's an incredibly hard song to sing, at least for me. There were real breathing problems with the original versions, and the last line of the chorus has been modified slightly to allow more chances to re-group along the way. In reality, the best I can do is to sing it in the key of B♭. (Don't be silly – I actually play that in G but with the capo three frets up. It still needs the awkward B minor barré chord, but hey...)
In the meantime, here's an early acoustic version to be going along with.
