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

be, now.


CHORUS:
      G       E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am      D            G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
   E
la la la la la la la.
Am      D            G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.


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

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

now.


CHORUS:
      G       E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am      D            G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
   E
la la la la la la la.
Am      D            G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.


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


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


CHORUS:
      G       E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am      D            G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
      G       E
birds of a feather, la la la la la la la..
Am      D            G       E
We should be together like birds of a feather, la la la

la la la la..


OUTRO:
Am      D            G       E
We should be together like birds of a feather, la la la

la la la la..
A     D            G       E
got to be together like birds of a feather, la la la

la la la la..(Fade.)
