F
He sang so loud
C
He sang so clear
EAm
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
FC
So I invited him in, just to reason with him
EAm
I promised I wouldn't do it again...
F
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
C
And now I couldn't get him out
E
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
Am
And stood on it to make him stop
F
I picked up the bird and above the dim I said
C
"That's the last song you'll ever sing"
F
Held him down, broke his neck
CEAm
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
FCEAm
But in my dreams began to creep
FCE
That old familiar 'tweet tweet tweet'
E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
E
But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
Am
Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
E
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
Am
I waved my arms and flapped about
E
But I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
AmFC
The song was coming from my mouth
EAm
From my mouth (15x)
