[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G                 C                  G      C
Little bird come sit upon my window sill
G           C                  D
Sat there through the falling rain
     G                    C                   G      C
As I watched that little bird upon my window sill
 G                  D         G
Saw my thoughts of you go by again
[Chorus]
C              D
Picture of my face
G                Em
Reflected on the pane
C      D                G
Is it tears, or is it rain?
[Instrumental]
C  D  G  Em  C  D  G
[Verse 2]
    G              C                G            C
I remember how we talked before we said goodbye
      G                C                 D
Too young to know the world outside our door
    G                     C                  G                  C
We laughed and said that love was free like birds that fly the winds
     G                 D                 G
The rainy day made me think of you once more
[Chorus]
    C              D
The picture of my face
G                Em
Reflected on the pane
C       D               G
Is it tears, or is it rain?
[Instrumental]
C  D  G  Em  C  D  G
[Verse 3]
   G        C                 G                C
No regrets about the past, I see how young we were
    G                   C              D
The world was love and time was but a thought
 G              C             G              C
Many things go many ways and many times but once
           G                        D             G
'Til your life has passed and your love is but a thought
[Chorus]
    C              D
The picture of my face
G                Em
Reflected on the pane
C      D                G
Is it tears,  or is it rain?
[Instrumental]
C  D  G  Em  C  D  G
[Verse 4]
G                          C               G            C
As my thoughts go tumbling back, I wonder how you look
 G                C                D
Wonder if you've seen that little bird
G                 C             G           C
I wonder if he's sat upon your window sill
G                 D               G
Wonder if you'll ever hear these words
[Chorus]
C                  D
The picture of my face
G                Em
Reflected on the pane
C      D                G
Is it tears,  or is it rain?
[Outro]  
C   D  G  Em  C 
D               G
                   Is it tears, or is it rain?
