B E
solo: Humming bird, humming bird should be your name
A E
chorus: (Humming bird should be your name)
can be played throughout as I've updated here, though beginners may find it easier to hold the E.
I usually play open chords but this is also a great tune to practice your 4th fret fingerings:
E:4446
B:8676
A:6454
C#m:6444
F#7:6667
