Talking Bird Ukulele by Death Cab For Cutie

Chords with lyrics

Hello everyone. I saw there is a great ukulele chord guide for this song, but I have added some slight
modifications to better suit the song. Almost all the chords here are modified.


Chords:

           //Sometimes
           //add the 3

I've played through several times with these and don't worry, they will all make sense


//Verse 1\\

C   Em   F  F3
Oh, my talking bird

      C  Gmod  F
Though you know so few words

      C  Em  F   F3
They're on infinite repeat

      C        Gmod     F
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak.

      C     Em  F  F3
And you're kept in an open cage

     C    Gmod   F
So you're free to leave or stay.

   C     Em    F    F3
Sometimes this makes you confused

        C       Gmod      F
But there's no hint that I am trying to give you.

//Chorus\\

  Dm          G            C
The longer you think, the less you know what to do.

C-Em-F-F3
C-Gmod-F

//Verse 2\\

   C    Em      F   F3
It's hard to see your way out

     C    Gmod    F
When you live in a house in a house

     C   Em  F   F3
Cause you don't realize

     C      Gmod      F
That the windows were open the whole time.

  C   Em   F   F3
But oh, my talking bird

      C      Gmod     F
Though your feathers are tattered and furled

   C    Em    F   F3
I'll love you all your days

     C         Gmod   F
Till the breath leaves your fragile frame.


//Chorus 2\\

   Dm         G           Am   G   F
It's all here for you as long as your choose to stay.

   Dm         G            C (regular C chord)
It's all here for you as long as you don't fly away.


That's it! Listen to the song to get strumming and small note changes.
