Verse 1:
         G    F              C
Leave me alone is all that I say
            G      F               C
When I have nothing in me to give away
                       F    G              C  G/B  F
A purple martin in her house, she hollers at me
       G       F             C
Why be inhuman ? Why be like me ?

Chorus 1:
             G      F              C
Like so many robins, like so many doves
             G        F             C
Like so many lovebirds with so many loves
                      F       G           C  G/B  F
Like the songs of the bobwhite without any words
               G   F                  C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

Verse 2:
              G      F                  C
At six in the morning you rise from the pillow
               G        F           C
Stand steaming above me ; I slumber below
                 F                          C  G/B  F
I'm one with the blanket laying fragrant and loose
                  G           F                  C
You're one with a whipporwill, you're one with a goose

Chorus 2:
             G     F              C
Like so many robins, like so many doves
             G        F              C
Like so many lovebirds with so many loves
                      F       G          C  G/B  F
Like the songs of the bobwhite without any words
            G      F                    C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

Bridge:
        Em         Asus2         A
So tweet with me and widely spread
         Em        Asus2      A
Your olive wings ; embrace my head
         Em      Asus2  A
Fly with me 'til we are dead
                      D           N.C.
And one with the birds

Verse 4:
                G        F             C
Like so many seagulls, like so many hawks
             G       F             C
Like so many thrushes and so many cocks
                      F       G              C          G/B          F
A little swallow will tell you without using misleading heartrending words
           G      F                      C
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds
                  G       F                   C
"When we hide our feelings we may as well fly away"
