Littlest Birds

       C                         
Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm 
     G            C
sad lonesome and blue,
      F           C          G   
I was fair as the summer day now 
           C
the summer days are through.
    F            C          G     
You pass through places and places 
 C
pass through you,
        F         C               
But you carry 'em with you on the 
G             C         F
soles of your travellin'
  C  G  C  F  C  G  C  F  C  G
Shoes.

[Chorus]
       C           F        C    
Well I love you so dearly I love 
       G
you so clearly
  C        F         C          
I wake you up in the mornin' so 
G
early,
        C          F       C     
Just to tell you I got the 
    G
wanderin' blues.
C    F       C         G
   I got the wanderin' blues,
    C         F          C        
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' 
G           C     F    C    G  
ways one of these days soon,
C  F  C

    G    C

Well it's times like these I feel
    G         C
 so small and wild
         F        C              
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a 
G         C
wanderin' child.
F       C             G        
And i'm lonesome as a lonesome 
C
whippoorwill,
F            C            G     
Singin these blues with a warble
       C
 and a trill.
F       C       G       C
But i'm not too blue to fly,
F      C       G       C
No i'm not too blue to fly 'cause

  But I had the wanderin' blues,
C       F          C         G
