Intro - C (2nd String 3rd fret)

(Acapella) Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by,
saw what I done he set up a nest outside
and he sang about what I'd become,
 
     C             GHe sang so loud, sang so clear
Am                   FI was afraid all the neighbours would hear
     C             Gso I invited him in just to reason with him,
Am                   F (strum once)promised I wouldn't do it again

But he sang
Clouder and louder inside the house
    Gand now I couldn't get him out
     Amso I trapped him under a cardboard box
Fstood on it to make it stop
  CI picked up the bird and above the dim
     Gsaid that's the last time you'll ever sing
C                           GHeld him down, broke his neck
Am                                    F taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

    C     G        Am     FBut in my dreams began to hear
     C   G that old familiar
Am (strum once)   F (strum once)
tweet    tweet    tweet
  C I opened my mouth to scream and shout
      Gand I waved my arms and flapped about
      Ambut I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
Fcouldn't scream and I couldn't shout

(repeat)

Cause the song was coming...

        C   G          Am  Ffrom my mouth, from my mouth
        C   G          Am  Ffrom my mouth, from my mouth

(repeat to fade)
