Do you re (Bm)mem ber when we (G)were two beau ti ful birds?
We would (Bm)light up the sky when we’d fly.
You were (Bm)o range and red like the (A)sun when it sets, (D)I was (Em7)green as an ap ple’s eye.
(Bm)You said you loved all the songs that I’d sing like (Bm)noth ing that you’d (G)ev er heard,
and (Bm)I said I loved you with (A)all of my heart when (G)we were two beau ti ful birds.

You were (Bm)sil ver and blue like the (A)moon when it’s (D)new, I was (Em7)gold as the sum mer sun.
One day you asked for a (A)dif fer ent song,
(Bm)one that I just (G)could n’t sing,
I got the (Bm)me lo dy sharp,

To build a nest we pecked (Bm)fea thers from our chests,
like a (D)book tear ing out ev er y page.
We weren’t to know that these (Bm)fea thers would grow
in to a beau ti ful cage.

- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Beautiful Birds" by Passenger in?
- The backing track is in B at 90 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.

- Is this a karaoke version of "Beautiful Birds"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Beautiful Birds", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Beautiful Birds" as a backing track for my instrument?

Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
