3/4 | d - D u D - |
1 2 & 3
Like a | [A] bird | ... on the | [E7] wire | [E7]
Like a | [A] drunk in a | [A7] midnight | [D] choir | [D]
I have | [A] tried | ... in my | [E7] way | ... to be | [A] free | [Asus4] | [A] | [A]
Like a | [A] worm | ... on a | [E7] hook | [E7]
Like a | [A] knight from some | [A7] old fashioned | [D] book | [D]
I have | [A] saved | ... all my | [E7] ribbons | ... for | [A] thee | [Asus4] | [A] | [A] |
| [D] If I | ... | if I have | been un- | [A] kind | ... | ... | ... |
| [Bm] I hope | that you | can just | let it go | [A] by | ... | ... | ... |
| [D] If I | ... | if I have | been un- | [A] true | ... | ... | ... |
| [Bm] I hope | ... you | know, it was | never to | [E7] you | ... | ... | ...
Like a [A] baby still- [E7] born
Like a [A] beast [A7] with his [D] horn
I have [A] torn every- [E7] one who reached [A] out for me [Asus4] [A] [A]
But I [A] swear by this [E7] song
And by [A] all that [A7] I have done [D] wrong
[A] I will make it [E7] all up to [A] thee [Asus4] [A] [A]
[D] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden [A] crutch | ... | ... | ... |
[Bm] He said to me you must not ask for [A] so much [Asus4] [A] [A]
[D] And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened [A] door | ... | ... | ... |
[Bm] She cried to me, hey why not ask [E7] for more | ... | ... | ...
Like a [A] bird on the [E7] wire
Like a [A] drunk in a [A7] midnight [D] choir
I have [A] tried in my [E7] way to be [D] free [A]

Be- [G] neath it's snowy [Bm] mantle cold and [Am] clean | [Am]
The [D7] unborn grass lies | waiting for its | coat to turn to [G] green
The [G] snowbird sings the [Bm] song he always [Am] sings |
And | [D7] speaks to me of | flowers that will | bloom again in [G] spring
When [G] I was young my [Bm] heart was young then [Am] too | [Am]
And any [D7] thing that it would | tell me that's the | thing that I would [G] do
But [G] now I feel such [Bm] emptiness with- [Am] in | [Am]
For the [D7] thing that I want | most in life's the | thing that I can't [G] win
[G] Spread your tiny [Bm] wings and fly a- [Am] way | [Am]
And [D7] take the snow back | with you where it | came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for- [Bm] ever is un- [Am] true | [Am]
And [D7] if I could you | know that I would | fly away with [G] you
The [G] breeze along the [Bm] river seems to [Am] say | [Am]
That he'll [D7] only break my | heart again should | I decide to [G] stay
So little [G] snowbird take me [Bm] with you when you [Am] go | [Am]
To that [D7] land of gentle | breezes where the | peaceful waters [G] flow
[G] Spread your tiny [Bm] wings and fly a- [Am] way | [Am]
And [D7] take the snow back | with you where it | came from on that [G] day
The [G] one I love for- [Bm] ever is un- [Am] true | [Am]
And [D7] if I could you | know that I would | fly away with [G] you
Yeah [D7] if I could you | know that I would [Am] fly ... | [Am]

| [C] | [A7] | [D7] | [G7] |
| [C] | [A7] | [D7] | [G7] |
[C] Spring is [A7] here, a [D7] spring is [G7] here
[C] Life is [A7] skittles, and [D7] life is [G7] beer
[Dm] I think the [G7] loveliest [C] time of the [G7] year is the [C] spring
I [A7] do! Don't [D7] you? Of [G7] course you do!
But there's [Dm] one thing that [G7] makes spring com- [C] plete for me [C]
And [D7] makes every [D7] Sunday a [G7] treat for me! [G7↓]
Chorus
All the [C] world seems in [Cmaj7] tune, on a [C6] spring after- [Cmaj7] noon
When were [C] poisoning [C7] pigeons in the [G7] park
Every [Dm] Sunday you'll see, my | sweetheart and me
As we [Dm] poison the [G7] pigeons in the [C] park! [C7]
Post- Chorus
When [Fm] they see us coming, the [C] birdies all try and [C!] hide
But they [D7] still go for [D7] peanuts when [G7] coated with cy- an- ide
The [C] sun's shining [Cmaj7] bright, every- [C6] thing seems all [C] right,
When we're [Dm] poisoning [G7] pigeons in the [C] park! [A7] [D7] [G7!]
We've [C] gained noto- [Cmaj7] riety, and [C6] caused much an- [C] xiety
In the [C] audubon so- [Cmaj7] ciety, with our [C6] games [C]
They [G7] call it im- | piety, and | lack of pro- | priety
And [G7] quite a va- | riety of... | unpleasant [D7] names
But its [D7] not against any re- [G] ligion, to [D7] want to dispose of a [G7] pigeon!
Chorus
So....if [C] Sunday you're [Cmaj7] free, why don't [C6] you come with [C] me
And we'll [Dm] poison the [G7] pigeons in the [Dm] park? [G7]
And [Dm] maybe we'll [G7] do in a [Dm] squirrel or [G7] two
While we're [Dm] poisoning [G7] pigeons in the [C] park [C7]
Post- chorus
We'll [Fm] murder them all, amid [C] laughter and merriment
Ex- [D7] cept for the few we take [G7] home to experiment!
My [C] pulse will be [Cmaj7] quickening with [C6] each drop of [C] strychenine we [D7] feed to a [G7] pigeon
It [D7] just takes a [G7] smidgin, to [D7] poison a [G7] pigeon in the [C] park! [G7↓] [C↓]

You're | [G] beautiful, that's for | [Em] sure

Your | [G] faith in me brings me to | [Em] tears

There'll be [G] bluebirds [Gmaj7] over the [C] white cliffs of [G] Dover
