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

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

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

 Chorus:
C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds
C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds

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

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