(A minor) Hey, little song (F major) bird,
(E minor) give me a (E major) song (A minor)
I'm a busy man (F major) and I can't (G major) stay long (E major)

(A minor) And they're giving me hell
(F major) back in Hades
(E major)

(A minor) Hey, little songbird,
(F major) (E minor) cat got your tongue? (A minor)

(B minor) (G major) (A minor) And knock (F major) the wind
right (C major) out of your (E major) lungs

You'd shine like (F major) a diamond
(G major) down in the mine (E major)
And (A minor) the choice is yours,
(F major) if you're (A minor) willing (C major) to choose (B minor) (G major)
See (A minor) ing as you've (F major)
got noth (C major) ing to (E major) lose
And (A minor) I (F major) could use (E major) a canary

(C major) Weren't we birds (E major) of a feather?
Verse 6
(A minor) Hey, little songbird,
(F major) (E minor) let me guess (A minor)
He's some kind of (F major) poet and
he's (G major) penniless? (E major)
(A minor) Give him your hand,
(F major) he'll give (C major) you his (B minor) hand- to- mouth (G major) (A minor)
He'll write you a poem (F major) when
the (C major) power's out (E major)
Hey, why (A minor) not fly south (F major) for the winter?
(E major)
Verse 7
(A minor) Hey, little song (F major) bird, (C major) look (E major) all around (A minor) you
See how the vipers (F major) and
vultures (G major) surround (E major) you
(A minor) And they'll take you down,
(F major) they'll (C major) pick you clean (B minor) (G major) (B minor)
If you (A minor) stick around (F major) such
a (C major) desperate scene (E major)
See, (A minor) people get mean (F major)
when the chips (E major) are down
