Puffin Song chords by Malinda Kathleen Reese

Intro:
(Hmm)

G                            C
Gather 'round friends let me tell you a tale
     G                  D
Of a bird that has my devotion
     G                  C
They spend their days a-ridin the waves
       D              G
Of the North Atlantic Ocean



Verse 1:
      G                       C
These birds are distinguished gentlemen
     G                  D
Like mini toucans in tuxedos
          G                      C
Call them clowns of the sea or a sea parrot
           D                     G
They're my little fine feathered heroes

Chorus:
G                    C
Oh to be free like a bird of the sea
  G                      D
A being that soars above spray
       G                       C
Likе a bird on the breeze I'll live lifе with ease
       D             G
In the lovin' puffin way


Verse 2:
       G                  C
Their rainbow beaks, each black button eye
  G                        D
Reflecting the blue of the sea & the sky
    G                  C
But if you look up and see a penguin
         D                             G
That's a puffin because penguins can't fly


Chorus:
G                    C
Oh to be free like a bird of the sea
  G                      D
A being that soars above spray
         G                    C
Not your average seagull
I'd be far more regal
         D             G
It's the lovin' puffin way

Verse 3:
      G                  C
Young puffins are called pufflings!
G                    D
Oh how sweet is that name?
        G                        C
What if small humans were called humlings-
   D                      G
It doesn't quite ring the same


Chorus:
G                    C
Oh to be free like a bird of the sea
  G                      D
A being that soars above spray
       G                           C
Diving meters for fish, it's their favourite dish
         D             G
It's the lovin' puffin way


Verse 4:
   G               C
No puffin means no smoking
    G                      D
In America's most northern state
     G             C
They always pack a pretty good punch
          D           G
If not at sea- on our plate (People eat puffins)


Chorus:
G                    C
Oh to be free like a bird of the sea
  G                      D
A being that soars above spray
        G                           C
I'm not talking the cereal, but the aves imperial
    D             G
The lovin' puffin way


Verse 5:
    G                          C
And yes they're the Porgs from Star Wars
       G                      D
'Cause they kept stealing the scene
      G                      C
Their beaks delightful, their eyes insightful
    D                                  G
But they groan louder than a zombified teen

Chorus:
G                    C
Oh to be free like a bird of the sea
  G                      C
A being that soars above spray
           G                         C
Don't play poker with puffins 'cause the'll be a bluffin'
   G                   C
Oh make me a puffin as cute as a muffin
       G                       C
Like a bird on the breeze I'll live life with ease
       D             G
In the lovin' puffin way
