Yellow     bird, you sit all alone like me.

Did your lady friend leave the nest again? 
A7      Em7    A7     D       D7M      D7 
That is very  sad, makes me feel so bad. 
G      G/F#   Em7 D      F#m  Bm7 
You can fly away, in the sky away  
A7          Em7    A7  D 
You're more lucky than me.

I also have a pretty girl  she's not with me  today. 
D                D7       G       Em7 
They're all the same, the pretty girls 
A7            Gdim  A7        A7/13 A7   D 
They tend the nest, then they fly  away.

Better fly away, in the sky away,

Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.

Black and yellow you, like banana too 
A7        A7      A7/13  A7   D 
They might pick  you  some day.

Wish that I were a yellow bird I fly away with you. 
D        D7    G       Em7 
But I am not a yellow bird  
A7        Gdim  A7     A7/13 A7  D 
So here I sit, nothing else to do.
