For this song you only need these four chords: -F -C -E -Am The strumming pattern changes throughout so just have a listen to the song and see what works for you :) [Verse] (a capella) Well, 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 N.C. That's the last song you'll ever sing F Held him down, broke his neck C Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget E Am F C But in my dreams began to creep E Am that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet [Chorus] E I opened my mouth to scream and shout Am I waved my arms and flapped about E but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout Am Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout F I opened my mouth to scream and shout Am Waved my arms and flapped about E but I couldn't scream, 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 hope you like it :)
