Yellow bird, up high in banana tree, Yellow bird, you sit all alone like us,
F/ C/
Did you lady friend, leave your nest again?
G7/ C/
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad,
F/ Dm7/
You can fly away, in the sky away,
G7/ C/
you're more lucky than me.
C/ Dm/ G/ C/
I also had a lady friend, She's not with me today.
C/ Dm/ G7/ Dm7 G / C/
They're all the same, those pretty girls, Take tenderness, then they fly away
C/ G/ Dm G/ C/ C / G/ Dm G/ C /
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree, Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me,
F/ C/
Let her fly away, in the sky away,
G7/ C/
Pick a town and soon, take from night to noon.
F/ Dm7/
Black and yellow you, like banana too,
G7/ C/
They might pick you some day.
C/ Dm/ G/ C/
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you.
C/ Dm/ G7/ Dm7 G/ C/
But I'm not a yellow bird, so here I sit, nothing else to do
C Cdim / G C Cdim / G
Yellow bird, Yellow bird......
