Bird In A Tree

C Dm C Dm C F C F C F C Dm

[Verse 1]
     C               Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
                      C
What you doin' way up there?
    C               Dm
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
                              C
Are you looking for your lady fair?
        F            C
Did she fly away to another tree?
       F                  C
Do you know not where she hides?
    F                C
All day you sing the same old song
    Dm
She must be hard to find


[Verse 2]
     C               Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
                             C
What's it like to be able to fly?
                  Dm
I figure if I had wings like you
                      C
Not a wasted day'd go by
    F             C
I'd fly above the mountaintops
       F                C
I'd do barrel-rolls and dives
    F              C
I'd snack upon the wiggly worms
       Dm
And be happy all my life

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
     C               Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
                      C
What you doin' way up there?
                     Dm
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
                              C
Are you looking for your lady fair?
        F                     C
Did she leave you late in the summertime
      F             C
After such a lovely spring?
        F                   C
Are ya 'fraid that come the winter
          Dm
You'll be left in the cold and lonely?


[Verse 4]
     C               Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
                          C
Who taught you to sing so well?
                      Dm
Do you know that I am listening?
                           C
Brother bird, can you even tell?
    F                         C
And though your love might be far away
     F          C
Even in another town
    F                  C
You sing your song all through the day
   Dm
In case she comes around

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
     C               Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
                       C
Oh, the sun is getting wide
                    Dm
Soon the night will come
                               C
And the morning won't be for a while
   F                    C
So fare thee well, dear friend of mine
       F                C
What a pleasure, I must say
   F                   C
We both should prob'ly get some sleep
  Dm               C
Tomorrow's another day
