Bird Song

(Acapella)
Well I didn't tell anyone but
A bird flew by, and saw what I'd 
done
It set up a nest outside
And he sang about what I'd become

    F
He sang so loud
    C
He sang so clear
E                     Am
I was afraid all the neighbours 
would hear
       F                     C
So I invited him in, just to reason 
with him
   E                  Am
I promised I wouldn't do it again...

             F
But he sang louder and louder inside
 the house
     C
And now I couldn't get him out
Continues after the ad
     E
So I trapped him under a cardboard 
box
       Am
And stood on it to make him stop

F
I picked up the bird and above the 
dim I said
C
"That's the last song you'll ever 
sing"
F
Held him down, broke his neck
C                             
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't 
       E     Am
forget

   F          C      E       Am
But in my dreams began to creep
     F       C       E
That old familiar 'tweet tweet 
tweet'

   E
I opened my mouth to scream and 
shout
   Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
        E
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't
 shout
 Am
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

   E
I opened my mouth to scream and 
shout
   Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
       E
But I couldn't scream, I couldn't 
shout
     Am                      F    
The song was coming from my mouth
   C

         E    Am
From my mouth (15x)
