(accapella)
Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by
saw what i'd done he set up a nest outside
and he sang about what i'd become

  FF       C majorC
He sang so loud, sang so clear
E MajorE          A minorAm
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
   FF           C majorC
so i invited him in just to reason with him
 E MajorE          A minorAm
i promised I wouldn't do it again

      FF
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
  C majorC
and now i couldn't get him out
   E MajorE
so I trapped him under a cardboard box
  A minorAm
and stood on him to make it stop
 FF
I picked up the bird and above the din i said
C(stop short)
that's the last song you'll ever sing
FF
held him down broke his neck
C majorC
taught him a lesson he wouldnt forget

 E MajorE A minorAm

  FF       C majorC
But in my dreams began to creep
   E MajorE      A minorAm
that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet

 E MajorE
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
 A minorAm
I waved my arms and I flapped about
   E MajorE
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
A minorAm
couldn't scream and couldn't shout
 FF
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
 A minorAm
I waved my arms and I flapped about
   E MajorE
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
  A minorAm           FF    C majorC
the song was coming from my mouth
    E MajorE  A minorAm
from my mouth
    FF  C majorC
*from my mouth
    E MajorE  A minorAm
from my mouth*

*Repeat 4 more times with same chords-you can put variations if you wish, like
plucking instead of straight chords

(Am--->)F  C majorC
from my mouth
    E MajorE  A minorAm
from my mouth
    FF  C majorC
from my mouth
    E MajorE    FF   C majorC   E MajorE   A minorAm   FF   C majorC   E MajorE   A minorAm
from my mouth (held on)-------------------------------------------->
