Em G
I'd rath-er be a spar-row than a snail
(D) (G) (D) (G) (Bm) Em
Yes i would, if i could, i sure-ly would, hmm...
(verse 2)
I'd rath-er be a ham-mer than a nail
Yes i would, if i only could...
I sure-ly would, hmm...
(chorus)
C
Away, i'd rather sail a-way...
G
Like a swan that's here and gone
C
A man gets tied up to the ground
G (Bm)
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
Em
It's saddest sound
(verse 3)
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes i would, if i could, i surely would
(verse 4)
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes i would, if i only could, i surely would
(horus)
C
Away, i'd rather sail a-way...
G
Like a swan that's here and gone
C
A man gets tied up to the ground
G (Bm)
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
Em
It's saddest sound
