CG
He sang so loud, sang so clear
AmF
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
CG
so I invited him in just to reason with him,
AmF (strum once)
promised I wouldn't do it again
But he sang
C
louder and louder inside the house
G
and now I couldn't get him out
Am
so I trapped him under a cardboard box
F
stood on it to make it stop
C
I picked up the bird and above the dim
G
said that's the last time you'll ever sing
CG
Held him down, broke his neck
AmF
taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
CGAmF
But in my dreams began to hear
CG
that old familiar
Am (strum once) F (strum once)
tweet tweet tweet
C
I opened my mouth to scream and shout
G
and I waved my arms and flapped about
Am
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
F
couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
(repeat)
Cause the song was coming...
CGAmF
from my mouth, from my mouth
CGAmF
from my mouth, from my mouth
(repeat to fade)
