Key: F Minor BPM: ♩ = 104 Time: 4/4
|Fm     |Db    |Ab    |Ab   Eb/G    |

|Fm                       |Db                    |Ab               |Ab        Eb/G   |
   If we take this bird in,  with it's broken leg,  we can nurse it,  she said
|Fm                        |Db              |
   Come inside for a little lie down with me
|Ab                      |Ab                   Eb/G       |
   And if you fall asleep,  it wouldn't be the worse thing

          |Db               |Db              |Ab      |Ab  Eb/G         |
But when I wake up, and your make up is on my shoulder,      and tell me
    |Db                 |Db                  |Eb       |Eb  C/E    |
if I lie down, would you stay now? And let me hold you, oh

        |Fm                      |Db             |
But if I kiss you will your mouth read this truth
             |Ab                              |Ab     Eb/G          |
Darling how I miss you, strawberries taste how lips do, and it's not
  |Fm                        |Db                            |Ab               |Ab      Eb/G   |
complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet, 'cause that leads to regret, diving in too soon
        |Db                |Db  Eb         |
And I'll owe it all to you, oh,   my little

|Fm     |Db         |Ab    |Ab   Eb/G    |
 bird,     my little bird

|Fm                     |Db                  |Ab               |Ab               Eb/G   |
   If we take a walk out,  in the morning dew,  we can lie down,  so I'm next to you
|Fm                        |Db           |Ab                      |Ab                Eb/G      |
   Come inside for a little home made tea,  and if you fall asleep,  at least you're next to me

        |Db               |Db                   |Ab   |Ab  Eb/G            |
And if I wake up, say it's late love, go back to sleep,      I’m covered by
|Db             |Db                       |Eb                  |Eb     C/E    |
 nature, and I'm safe now, underneath this oak tree, with you beside me

        |Fm                      |Db             |
But if I kiss you will your mouth read this truth
             |Ab                              |Ab     Eb/G          |
Darling how I miss you, strawberries taste how lips do, and it's not
  |Fm                        |Db                            |Ab               |Ab      Eb/G   |
complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet, 'cause that leads to regret, diving in too soon
        |Db                |Db  Eb         |
And I'll owe it all to you, oh,   my little

|Db    |Eb         |Fm     |Ab         |
 bird,    my little bird,     my little
|Db    |Eb         |Fm     |Ab         |
 bird,    my little bird

      |Db                  |Eb          |Db                  |Eb         |
And of all these things I'm sure of, I'm not quite certain of   your love
   |Db                    |Eb          |
You make me scream, then I made you cry
      |Db                            |Eb               |
When I left that little bird with its broken leg to die

        |Fm                      |Db             |
But if I kiss you will your mouth read this truth
             |Ab                              |Ab     Eb/G          |
Darling how I miss you, strawberries taste how lips do, and it's not
  |Fm                        |Db                            |Ab               |Ab      Eb/G   |
complete yet, mustn't get our feet wet, 'cause that leads to regret, diving in too soon
        |Db                |Db  Eb         |
But I'll owe it all to you, oh,   my little

|Fm   |Db         |Ab             |Ab      Eb/G           |
 bird,   my little bird, whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, my little
|Fm   |Db         |Ab  |Ab  Db                |
 bird,   my little bird,      you’re my little
