Yellow bird, up high in banana tree; yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Did your lady friend, leave de nest again, oh how very sad, make me feel so bad;
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
You can fly away, in the sky away, you more lucky dan me.
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree; yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
G+G C majorC
I also have a pretty gal, she not with me, today;
FF G+G C majorC
Dey all de same, de pretty gal, de leave de nest; den they fly away.
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC C7C7
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree; yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Black and yellow, you, like banana, too; you better fly away, in the sky away;
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
The Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon; they might pick you someday,
FF G+G C majorC
I Wish that I were a yellow bird, I could fly away with you;
C majorC FF (No Chords) G+G C majorC
But I am not a yellow bird, so, here I sit, nothing else to do.
