I once knew a man, who owned a butcher shop, he  
                       Dm 
also had apartments to rent up on top. 
       G                                   
But he didn't include on the sign that he painted,  
    Dm                                   G 
"no pets," and the tenant who rented had six hungry  
         C 
dogs, he regrets. 
G                           C                     Dm 
But he said, when things go wrong, just sing this song, 
                 G               C 
the birds in the trees will sing harmony.

it bad..the story of Mrs. Pierre is ten times as sad. 
             Dm 
(Poor woman) with twenty-two children, a duck, and two  
                                              G 
goats in the bin..she was gaily informed by a doctor 
                  C 
that she's having twins. 
G                            C                     Dm 
But she said, when things go wrong, just sing this song,

the birds in the trees will sing harmony.

Have I mentioned to you the worst one of all..the night a  
                                    D   Dm 
mayor and his wife had their annual ball. 
                                                  G 
(I remember) the speeches he makes after dinner became quite  
  Dm                                                     F 
renowned..but this time he sneezed when he spoke and his pants  
          C 
they fell down. 
G                            C                     Dm 
But they say, when things go wrong, just sing this song, 
                 G               C          
the birds in the trees will sing harmony.
