E B E
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
B E
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
[Verse 1]
A E B
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
E A
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
E
You can fly away, in the sky away
B E
You're more lucky than me
E B E
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
B
They're all the same those pretty girls
E
Take tenderness, then they fly away
[Chorus]
E B E
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
B E
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
[Verse 2]
A E B
Let her fly away in the sky away
Pick a town and soon
E A
Take from night to noon
Black and yellow
E B
You like banana too
E
They might pick you someday
B E
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you
B
But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit
E
Nothing else to do
[Chorus] (Fade out)
E
Yellow bird, yellow bird
E
Yellow bird, yellow bird
