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,

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,

- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Beautiful Birds" to match my voice or capo?

- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
