Verse 1:
G+G
Listen to this story
     C majorC         G+G
It really happened! Yes, it did!
    G+G
It was back in those days of glory
    C majorC       G+G
In my “Grievances” period
    G+G
I went down to the river
     C majorC    G+G
I have it all on film
 G+G
I had her on my mind
    C majorC      G+G
I have her on film, too

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds

Verse 2:
      G+G
There was a flock of ducks there
  C majorC      G+G
And I’m not kidding
 G+G
I walked towards them
     C majorC     G+G
It was a weird feeling
      G+G
And when I got too close
   C majorC       G+G
They broke into the sky

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds

Verse 3:
  G+G
I approached her too
    C majorC      G+G
On that same roll of film
  G+G
An angel she was
  C majorC   G+G
And this I knew
   G+G
But I sure was surprised
    C majorC    G+G
When I got too close
  G+G
She flew away
  C majorC   G+G
She flew away

 Chorus:
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD G+G
Scattered like birds

Verse 4:
  G+G
And now-a-days
 C majorC    G+G
I sit and watch
 G+G
Domestic families
C majorC     G+G
Stand and talk
  G+G
Of happy land
  C majorC    G+G
And kids and love
   G+G
I sit glassy-eyed
   C majorC     G+G
But I can’t understand
      G+G
I can’t comprehend
  C majorC     G+G
Or gather my thoughts

Chorus:
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD  G+G
Scattered like birds
    C majorC       G+G   D MajorD  G+G
They’re scattered like birds
    C majorC       G+G   D MajorD  G+G
They’re scattered like birds
C majorC       G+G   D MajorD  G+G
Scattered like birds
