Little Bird Ukulele chords by Emhahee

Key: D

Verse 1:
E                Bm
Little Bird could never fly
     E              Bm
Not one inch of the ground
   E               Bm
It wasn't though he didn't try
   E             Bm
But every time he found
   E                    Bm
He flapped his wings, so very hard
  E                  Bm
Until his face burnt red
E            Bm
Jump off of a tall tree branch
   E              Bm
And landed on his head

Verse 2:
E              Bm
"Look at Little Bird!"
         E                    Bm
His other classmates said with malice
     E                    Bm
"Why can't he fly? That's just absurd!"
          E                  Bm
"Let's go higher so he can't catch us!"
E                  Bm
Little Bird sat on his front steps
E           Bm
Miserably below
E               Bm
Nobody wanted to be his friend
       E       Bm
Or to even say hello

Verse 3:
E                      Bm
Everyone told him that flying was easy
    E                Bm
And he wasn't trying enough
      E                       Bm
"Just catch the wind and next part's a breeze"
    E                  Bm
But even flapping was tough
    E                             Bm
His wings were different from the others
    E                   Bm
His feathers, not quite right
    E              Bm
His beak was oddly shaped
                     E                         Bm
And he slept with his stuffed animal each night

Verse 4:
E               Bm
Little Bird was not that small
   E                  Bm
He stuck out from the rest
E                 Bm
Little Bird didn't fit in at all
    E                   Bm
Not even in his own nest
E                   Bm
Little Bird learned to pretend
      E             Bm
To be everything he wasn't
   E                 Bm
He tried to be every kind of bird
       E            Bm
From a peacock to a pheasant

Verse 5:
   E                 Bm
He wore all kinds of feathered coats
     E                Bm
And learned to be less shy
   E                   Bm
But no matter what his friends found out
    E             Bm
He simply couldn't fly
E                Bm
That year Little Bird knew
            E                Bm
He couldn't fly south for the winter
E                Bm
Nobody cared that he didn't go
   E                        Bm
And Little Bird's heart was splintered

Verse 6:
   E                Bm
He stayed inside for many days
E                    Bm
Taking a much-needed rest
     E                  Bm
"Pretending is tiring to do all the time!"
   E                            Bm
"I think I like being 'me' the best"
E                  Bm
Little Bird didn't know who 'me' was
   E                    Bm
And he was afraid to look
E                      Bm
Then came the noises of voices outside
    E                 Bm
And Little Bird's earth shook

Verse 7:
E                         Bm
Outside in the snow, there were birds just like him
    E                 Bm
And none of them were flying
E               Bm
All of them were being themselves
     E               Bm
And none of them were lying
      E             Bm
"You look like me!" Little Bird said
      E                     Bm
"What kind of birds are you "
    E                     Bm
"We're penguins!" they said happily
     E
"And you're a penguin too"
