[Verse 1]
[Am]Hey, little song[F]bird,
[Em]give me a song[E][Am]
I'm a busy [F]man and I can't [G]stay [E]long
I [Am]got clients to c[F]all, I got o[C]rders to f[Bm]ill
I got [Am]walls to build,
[F]I got rio[C]ts to que[E]ll
[Am]And they're giving me hell
[F]back in Hades
[E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hey, little songbird,
[F]cat[Em] got your ton[Am]gue?
Always a [F]pity for one [G]so
pretty and [E]young
[Am]When poverty comes[F] to clip[C] your wings
[Bm]And [G]knoc[Am]k the wind[F]
right [C]out of [E]your lungs
Hey, [Am]nobody [F]sings [E]on empty

[Verse 3]
[C]Strange is the call of this [G]strange [C]man
I wanna [Am]fly down a[Bb]nd feed at his h[Am]and
[C]I want a[Em] nice s[C]oft p[G]lace to l[E]and
[C]I wanna l[E]ie down f[Am]orever

[Verse 4]
Hey, little song[F]bird,
[Em]you got something [Am]fine
You'd shine like [F]a diamond
[G]down in [E]the mine
And [Am]the choice is yours,
[F]if you're wil[Am]ling to [C]choose[Bm][G]
[Am]See ing [F]as you've
got noth[C]ing [E]to lose
And [Am]I co[F]uld use a [E]canary

[Verse 5]
[C]Suddenly, nothing is [G]as it [C]was
Where are you [Am]now, [Bb]Orphe[Am]us?
Was[C]n't it gonna [Em]be t[C]he
[G]two [E]of us?
[C]Weren't we [E]birds of a feather?

[Verse 6]
[Am]Hey, little songbird,
[F]let[Em] me guess[Am]
He's some kind of [F]poet and
[G]he's [E]penniless?
[Am]Give him your hand,
[F]he'll giv[C]e you his han[Bm]d- to-[G] mouth[Am]
He'll write you a [F]poem when
[C]the power's [E]out
Hey, [Am]why not fly s[F]outh for the winter?
[E]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Hey, little [F]song[C]bird, look [E]all around [Am]you
See how [F]the vipers and
[G]vultures surround [E]you
[Am]And they'll take you down,
[F]the[C]y'll pick you cle[Bm]an[G][Bm]
If [Am]you stick a[F]round such
a [C]desperate [E]scene
See, [Am]people get [F]mean
when the [E]chips are down
