Verse 1:
D
Who was I before
  C             G
I took it on the chin
D
Watching a little more
            C         G
Of me blow away on the wind
  D
I listened to the whispers
C             G
Bending out of shape
   D
To fit into a picture
         C           G
I didn’t even want to take

Chorus:
       D
Like a mockingbird
          C
Singing a thousands songs
                     G
That don’t belong to me
                       D
Just to see who’s listening
D
The song of a mockingbird
           C
Hidden within my palm
                        G
The one that’s just for me
                       C
But if you listen closely
          G              C
And get a little bit lucky
    G                  D     C
You just might hear my melody
          G/B    D
My secret melody


Verse 2:
D
I patchworked myself together
              C          Bm
Strung a fence across the plains
         D
Tried to tame it all for better
         C                   G/B
But some wilds you just can’t claim
   D
If beauty’s in the eye
             C              Bm
I’m gonna be mindful where I look
        D
I wanna get a bird’s eye from the sky
   C             G/B
Of every chance I took


Chorus:
       D
Like a mockingbird
          C
Singing a thousands songs
                     G
That don’t belong to me
                       D
Just to see who’s listening
D
The song of a mockingbird
           C
Hidden within my palm
                        G
The one that’s just for me
                       C
But if you listen closely
          G              C
And get a little bit lucky
         G          E       D     C
Well you just might hear my melody
          G/B    D
My secret melody


Bridge:
         A
It ain’t fancy, it ain’t especially fine
            Bm                     C G
Oh but it’s mine, I know that it’s mine


Chorus:
      D
I’m a mockingbird
          C
Singing a thousands songs
                     G
That don’t belong to me
                       D
Just to see who’s listening
D
The song of a mockingbird
           C
Hidden within my palm

But if you listen closely
