Key: B major•
Verse 1
A
E
I wish I had a nickel
and I wish I had a dime
I wish I had a pretty girl,
B
E
I'd love her all the time
And if I had a needle,
B
E
and I'd never let her go
Like a homin' bird, I gotta fly away
I wish I was an apple hangin' on a tree
So any time you're feelin' hungry,
B
E
you would fancy me
In the winter and the springtime,
through summer and the fall
G
E
If you can't be my lovin' sweetie,
B
E
well, I won't have none at all
Like a homing bird, I gotta fly away
E
B
E
be back some other day
B
E
F
You'd wake up every morning
when birdies start to sing
March up to the table
C
F
and eat the same old thing
But I declare if you were dead
I'd get an appetite
C
F
From kissing you each morning
C
F
and squeezing you at night
Like a homing bird I've got to fly away
But like a homing bird,
C
F
F#
be back some other day
Won't always be a drifter,
just going place to place
Won't always be a drifter
Db
F#
who wants to change a place
Just settle down and stick around,
for me may be too tame
But if someday I'll marry you,
Db
F#
I'll have myself a plane
Like a homing bird, I gotta fly away,
Like a homing bird,
Db
F#
be back some other day
Like a homing bird, I gotta fly away, but
Db
F#
Like a homing bird, be back some other day
Db
F#
Be back some other day
Db
F#
Be back some other day you
