Little bird
Em - C G - G - D
Oh !
Em - C
1. We take this bird in with it's
broken leg,
G - G
D
we
can nurse it, she said.
Em C
Come inside for a little lie
down with me,
G
- G D
and
if you fall asleep, it
wouldn’t be the worst thing.
C G - G - D
And when I wake up her make up
is on my shoulder,
C D
- B7
and
tell me, if I lie down, will you stay now, let me hold you.
Em C
And if I kiss you, will your mouth read this truth,
G D
darling, how I miss you, strawberries
taste like lips do.
Em C
And it's not complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet,
G G - D
‘cause that leads to regret diving in too soon,
Am C
Em - C G
- D
and I'll owe it all to you, oh, my
little bird, my little bird.
Em - C
2. Take a walk out in the morning dew,
G
- G D
we
could lay down, so I'm next to you.
Em C
Come inside for a little
homemade tea,
G
- G D
if
you fall asleep then at least
you're next to me.
Em C
G
- G - D
And if I wake her, she'll say,
"It's late, love," go back to sleep,
Em C
uncovered
by nature I need safe now,
C D - B7
and I
need this oak tree with you beside me.
Em C
But if I kiss you, will your mouth read this truth,
G
D
darling, how I miss you, strawberries
taste like lips do.
Em C
And it's not complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet,
G G - D
‘cause that leads to regret diving in too soon,
Am C - D Em - C G - D
and I'll owe it all to you,
oh, my little bird, my little bird.
Em
- C G - D
+ My little bird, my little bird.
Am C
+ And of all these
things I'm sure of,
Em G
I'm not quite certain of your
love.
Am C
You make me scream, then I made you cry,
Em D
when
I left that little bird with it's broken leg to die.
+ CHORUS + Whoah !
Em - C G - D C
+ My little bird, my little bird, you're my little bird.
