C             C/G             C         C/G 
hey little bird what did you do last night 
C             C/G                 F 
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky? 
G 
up in a tree with smile on your face 
Gsus4 
telling sick jokes about the human race 
C                 C/G       C         C/G 
hung over in my hammock on new years day 
C               C/G          F 
looking for a sign in the clouds someway 
G 
but only grey skies could prove me wrong 
Gsus4 
until you came along and you sang me this song

I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one 
C            C/G            F 
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun 
G 
God gave you a special purpose in life 
Gsus4 
I got one too but never got it right 
C           C/G            C       C/G 
bird on the wire little friend of mine 
C            C/G           F 
go and fly away into the morning light 
G 
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year 
Gsus4 
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
