Verse 1:
D     G         D A
I'm a house wren, hunting for a house

I haven't found one, I'm on the lookout

For a home to call my own
  D       G         D A
A private residence
D           G         D A
Through the grapevine I heard an empty gourd
D          G            D  A
Is hangin' up somewhere on some old lady's porch
D            G          D A
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go

I'm gonna sing

at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day

A country farmhouse or a quiet bungalow

Not too big, and not too small
D          G          D  A
First-rate real estate

I got my eyes peeled for a window box

An old tin can, a boot or a flower pot
