Bluebird by Electric Light Orchestra Song: BLUEBIRD Band: ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA Written: JEFF LYNNE Disc: SECRET MESSAGES (Track 3) Tabbed: Nadja Dee (Seattle) Note: I looked and looked online but nobody has tabbed this ELO track from Secret This is NOT the famous Beatle’s Paul McCartney Bluebird…but it’s a very pretty song.
