Verse 1:
       G                   C
Well I heard a bird in the morning
G                D
Singing a birdie song
         G                C
Then she started speaking English,
           D             G
Said: "You people got it wrong."

           G               C
"Well, you like to live in houses,
         G              D
When you ought to be outside
         G                            C
With the fields and the trees and the mouses
    D             G
And all of nature wide."

           G                C
I said: "I think I see your point now
          G              D
Won't you come inside my door "
        G              C
Then I locked her in a birdcage
        D               G
And she doesn't talk no more


Chorus:
           C                      G
Because it isn't human nature for humans and nature
   D                       G
To get along together, why do we even try?
C                           G
  Give me the freeway and a six-pack on payday
D                               G
You can keep the forest and the sky

Verse 2:
     G                C
Last night I went out walking
         G              D
Cause my car was broken down
  G            C
I met an old coyote
       D               G
On the outskirts of my town

             G               C
He said "I'm glad to see you mister
           G                D
You know I never see people walk."
        G              C
I said "that's exactly how I feel
   D           G
To see coyotes talk"

         G                C
"Well, I think I see your point now
          G              D
Won't you come inside my door "
        G              C
Then I locked him in a closet
       D               G
And he doesn't talk no more


Chorus:
           C                      G
Because it isn't human nature for humans and nature
   D                       G
To get along together, why do we even try?
C                           G
  Give me the freeway and a six-pack on payday
D                               G
You can keep the forest and the sky

Verse 3:
            G              C
Then Mother Nature came to see me
        G                D
Said "I think you got my bird
   G                 C
My children tried to talk with you
  D                G
A fact you haven't heard."

      G                C
"So I guess it's up to me now
        G              D
And I'm really quite P.O.d
G               C
Time for you to leave this house
    D              G
You better hit the road."


Chorus:
             C                       G
Because it's really human nature for humans and nature
   D                   G
To get along together, boy you'd better try
      C                            G
We'll still miss the freeways, the six-packs on payday
D                              G
Living with the forest and the sky

       C                          G
Yes, I know it's human nature for humans and nature
   D                       G
To get along together, you know I'll really try
      C                           G
But I still miss the freeway, the six-packs on payday
D                              G
Living with the forest and the sky
D                              G
Living with the forest and the sky
