| [D] Yel- [C#↓] low | [D] bird, up | [A7] high in banana | [D] tree,
| [D] Yel- [C#↓] low | [D] bird, you | [A7] sit all alone like | [D] me,
| [G] Did your lady friend, | [D] leave the nest again?
| [A7] That is very sad, | [D] makes me feel so bad,
| [G] You can fly away, | [D] in the sky away,
| [A7] You're more lucky than | [D] me. [C#↓] | [D]
| [D] I also had a | [G] pretty girl,
| [A7] she's not with me to- | [D] day,
| [D] They're all the same those | [G] pretty girls,
| [A7] Take tenderness, | [A7↓] then they fly a- | [D] way. [C#↓] | [D]
| [D] Yel- [C#↓] low | [D] bird... | [A7] | [D] |
| [D] Yel- [C#↓] low | [D] bird... | [A7] | [D] |
| [G] Did your lady friend, | [D] leave the nest again?
| [A7] That is very sad, | [D] makes me feel so bad,
| [G] You can fly away, | [D] in the sky away,
| [A7] You're more lucky than | [D] me. [C#↓] | [D]
| [D] Wish that I were a | [G] yellow bird, | [A7] I'd fly away with | [D] you,
| [D] But I am not a | [G] yellow bird,
| [A7] so here I sit, | [A7↓] nothing I can | [D] do. [C#↓] | [D]
| [D] Yel- [C#↓] low | [D] bird... | [D] [C#↓] | [D] |
| [D] Yel- | [C#] low | [D] bird... | [D↓]
