F -C -E -Am The strumming pattrern changes throughout so just have a listen to the song and see what works for you :) I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by saw what i'd done he set up a nest outside and he sang about what i'd become F C He sang so loud, sang so clear E Am I was afraid all the neighbours would hear F C so i invited him in just to reason with him E Am 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 him to make it stop F I picked up the bird and above the din i said C(stop short) that's the last song you'll ever sing F held him down broke his neck C taught him a lesson he wouldnt forget E Am F C But in my dreams began to creep E Am that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet E I opened my mouth to scream and shout Am I waved my arms and I flapped about E but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout Am couldn't scream and couldn't shout F I opened my mouth to scream and shout Am I waved my arms and I flapped about E but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout Am F C the song was coming from my mouth E Am from my mouth F C from my mouth E Am from my mouth* *Repeat 4 more times with same chords-you can put variations if you wish, like plucking instead of straight chords (Am--->)F C from my mouth E Am from my mouth F C from my mouth E F C E Am F C E Am from my mouth (held on)--------------------------------------------> F to finish
