Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Walking  round Chicago,
 I have smuggled you as cargo,
 though you are far away unknowing.
 By the time we get to Salt Lake
 I have packed you in my suitcase,
 ironed the creases from my own remembering.
 She said Bird, why?
 We wound our way to Texas
 where I summoned remote hexes
 and I sent them across dust and oceans.
 In Phoenix, Arizona I had the notion
 I might phone you,
 but there it lived and died, a notion.
 She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?
Oh  my satellite, oh  my passenger.
We  came up on Ohio,
 I have you chewed on like a biro.
 You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering.
 We came to Minneapolis,
 all fizzy blood and twitchy fists.
 I buried you in a day of snowing.
 She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?
Oh  my satellite, oh  my passenger.

[G]Walking round Chic[C]ago,
I have smuggled you as cargo,
though you are far away unknowing.

By the time we get to Salt Lake
I have packed you in my suitcase,
ironed the creases from my own remembering.

She said Bird, why?

We wound our way to Texas
where I summoned remote hexes
and I sent them across dust and oceans.

In Phoenix, Arizona I had the notion
I might phone you,
but there it lived and died, a notion.

She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?

[D]Oh my satel[C]lit[G]e, [D]oh my pass[C]enger.[G]

[G]We came up on Oh[C]io,
I have you chewed on like a biro.
You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering.

We came to Minneapolis,
all fizzy blood and twitchy fists.
I buried you in a day of snowing.

She said Bird, why? I said Bird, why?

[D]Oh my satel[C]lit[G]e, [D]oh my pass[C]enger.[G]
