Lightning Bird Wind River Man

If I w[A]as a bolt of [D]lightnin[A]g I would[D] shoot right[A] down and spl[Bm]it the sk[A]y
 in tw[A]o and I would[D] be so b[A]right  i [D]would light [A]up the darkes[Bm]t night  [A]
Well maybe[Bm] I'll come back as[A] one, i thi[Bm]nk it would be lots of[A] fun
To zap the[Bm] earth and strike [A]the sea wit[Bm]h a billion bolts of e[A]nergy

And if[A] I was a bird[D] out on [A]the wing [D]the sweetest[A] song you'd h[Bm]ear me si[A]ng
I woul[A]d whistle sou[D]nds like[A] secret w[D]ords in a la[A]nguage no one[Bm]s ever he[A]ard
The tune a[Bm]round your ear wou[A]ld ring so [Bm]mesmerizing you would [A]think
 that I w[Bm]as something quite[A] absurd, mo[Bm]re like an angel than [A]a bird

But to[A]day I d[C#m]on't want to be [D]anything else[C#m] but myself [Bm]
Cause to[D]day i am a little bit of[A] all these things
Theres a[D] little bit of all these t[A]hings in me
I got[D] all right here in m[A]y hand
i'm a[D] lightning, bird, wind, [A]river, man.

And if[A] I was a gust[D] of wind[A] i'd blow[D] around the [A]world three t[Bm]imes or s[A]o
I woul[A]d pick up hal[D]f and mi[A]llion lea[D]ves and make[A] a sculpture [Bm]on the br[A]eeze
So beauti[Bm]ful that god himse[A]lf would wa[Bm]nt to know how do as w[A]ell
Hed'd off[Bm]er me a handsome p[A]rice just t[Bm]o be the wind in parad[A]ise

And if [A]I was a river[D] I would[A] be a rag[D]ing river wi[A]ld and free  [Bm]           [A]
I woul[A]d find my way[D] around [A]anything [D]just to get [A]where I was g[Bm]oing     [A]
So treacher[Bm]ous would be my ra[A]th you'd ne[Bm]ver try to cross my pa[A]th
I'd run so[Bm] fast into the sea[A], you'd see[Bm] the waves from mercur[A]y
