#1.
G+G         C majorC       G+G
I remember back a long time ago, in the days
   D MajorD
of my childhood.
G+G            C majorC
In the evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low,
G+G       D MajorD
walkin' in the wildwood.
G+G      C majorC               G+G
Skippin' and flippin' through the flowers, we'd
      D MajorD
go hand-in-hand.
G+G        C majorC          G+G
Lookin' back on all the happy hours, anybody
         FF    C majorC
could understand you and me, babe, just got to
D MajorD
be, now.

CHORUS:
      G+G       E MajorE
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
A minorAm      D MajorD            G+G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
   E MajorE
la la la la la la la.
A minorAm      D MajorD            G+G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.


#2.
G+G        C majorC           G+G
You and I didn't have a lot of friends, didn't have
  D MajorD
too much to say.
G+G         C majorC       G+G
So, they never did let us join in all the games that
   D MajorD
they used to play.
G+G         C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
Seems like it was only yesterday, kinda thinkin' junior

high.
G+G          C majorC        G+G
I remember what the kids used to say as we'd go
       FF    C majorC    G+G         D MajorD
strollin' by..you and me, now, sure enough got to be,

now.

CHORUS:
      G+G       E MajorE
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
A minorAm      D MajorD            G+G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
   E MajorE
la la la la la la la.
A minorAm      D MajorD            G+G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.


BRIDGE:
G+G         BB      C majorC        D MajorD
Time goes rollin' by, and they say that you and I will go
  G+G    BB
our separate ways.
  C majorC                 G+G
But birds of a feather will always be together.


#3.
G+G         C majorC            G+G
Your folks didn't want me hangin' 'round, said that I
  D MajorD
was bad for you.
G+G          C majorC          G+G
So, we'd meet on the other side of town, down a long dark
D MajorD
avenue.
G+G            C majorC        G+G
But they can't keep the two of us apart long as you really
D MajorD
love me.
G+G           C majorC         G+G
I got the feelin' way down in my heart, that's the way it's
D MajorD     FF    C majorC              D MajorD
gonna be..you and me, babe..sure enough got to be, now.

We should be together like birds of a feather..

birds of a feather, la la la la la la la..
A minorAm      D MajorD            G+G       E MajorE
We should be together like birds of a feather, la la la

la la la la..
