Verse 1: 
             C#m              G#m 
In the delta sun, down in Arkansas 
          F#m      E              C#m    B 
It’s the great god bird with it’s alter call 
                  C#m                  G#m 
And the sewing machine, the industrial god 
       F#m     E            C#m     B 
On the great bayou were they saw it fall 
        F#m        E           C#m     B 
It’s the great god bird down in Arkansas 
                   A   E               A    E 
And the hunters beware, or the fishers fall 
       A      G#m  F#m   E        B             F#m 
And paradise might close from its safe flight flawed 
         A    G#m  F#m   E         B (let ring) 
It’s the great god bird through it all
