I'd | rather be a | sparrow than a | [C] snail... |

| [Am] would... | ... Mmm- | mm mm mmm | [Am]
Chorus
A- | [F] way, I'd | rather sail a- | way | [F]
Like a | [C] swan... | that's here and | gone | [C]
A | [F] man... gets | tied up to the | ground... |
| [F] He gives the | [C] world... | it's saddest | sound |
| [C] It's saddest | [Am] sound... | ... Mmm- | mm mm mmm |
| [Am]... Mmm- | mm mm mmm | [Am]
I'd | [Am] rather be a | hammer than a | [C] nail... |

| [Am] would... Mmm- | mm mm mmm | [Am]

| [F] He gives the | [C] world... | it's saddest | sound |
| [C] It's saddest | [Am] sound... | ... Mmm- | mm mm mmm |
| [Am]... Mmm- | mm mm mmm | [Am]

| [C]... Yes I | [C] would... | ... if I | could... | I surely |
| [Am] would... | [Am]
