Verse 1
C 
F 
In the morning she is
C 
dancing in the kitchen
F 
to the music on the radio
C 
Dm 
With the windows open and
C 
the curtains wide,
Am 
D 
she's singing every word she knows
F 
And out in the street with
C 
the heat coming down,
F 
G 
Am 
the boys are busy falling in love
C 
And the girls walk by with their
Dm 
backs   up
F 
Wondering what the hell
G 
C 
they're thinking of
F 
All the kids on the corner,
C 
they're kicking up dust
F 
G 
It must be something to be so bored
C 
Dm 
Last week some punk
Am 
C 
beat a window out
Am 
He's got the neighbors
D 
locking up their doors
F 
And all the weekend workers,
C 
they're walking to work
F 
G 
Am 
Like nothing's gonna get them down
C 
Dm 
Maybe it will and maybe it won't
F 
But they'll be damned if
C 
they'll be sittin' around
And you can find me on
F 
the front porch
Sippin' my tea,
C 
Am 
wonderin' if anyone is lookin' at me
F 
Every day it's the same old thing
C 
There's nothin' much happenin'
F 
Soon I'm gonna pack my suitcase
C 
And I'm gonna hit the road
F 
Well, if you're walking around
and you see my face,
C 
Am 
C 
be sure to stop and say hello
Dm 
Little bird, won't you carry me?
G 
I'm off with the sun every
day of the week
C 
F 
C 
And it hits me like a kiss on the cheek
G 
F 
and rolls me like a storm
Dm 
Am 
G 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

C 
Now it's a lazy evening
F 
C 
Daydreamin' at a haunted room
Dm 
And I'm runnin' with my lover
C 
And when we duck for cover
E 
F 
She tells me I'm the only one
Am 
G 
And oh, how my heart skips a beat
F 
How could a lady of mine
C 
ever be so sweet
Am 
Dm 
She nearly swept me off my  feet
E 
You've got to hand it to my imagination
F 
Cause I'm just sittin'
on the front porch
Sippin' my tea
C 
Wondering if anyone is looking at me
F 
Every day it's the same old thing
C 
There's nothing much happening
F 
Soon I'm gonna pack my suitcase
C 
And I'm gonna hit the road
F 
Well, if you're walking around
and you see my face
C 
Be sure to stop and say hello
Dm 
Little bird, won't you carry me?
G 
I'm off with the sun every day of the week
C 
And it hits me like a kiss on the cheek
F 
Dm 
Am 
G 
And moves me like a stone
