Verse
E E/B E E/B
hey little bird what did you do last night
E E/B A
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
B
up in a tree with smile on your face
Bsus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
E E/B E E/B
hung over in my hammock on new years day
E E/B A
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
B
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
Bsus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
E E/B E E/B
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
E E/B A
you can fly away into the morning sun
B
while me & myself are stuck right here
Bsus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
E E/B E E/B
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
E E/B A
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
B
God gave you a special purpose in life
Bsus4
I got one too but never got it right
E E/B E E/B
bird on the wire little friend of mine
E E/B A
go and fly away into the morning light
B
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
Bsus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
E E/B E E/B
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
E E/B A
you can fly away into the morning sun
B
while me & myself are stuck right here
Bsus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
