Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by,
saw what I done he set up a nest outside
and he sang about what I'd become,

        F                        C

But he sang...      ***strum pattern = down--down--down-up down up down***

    F                             C
 louder and louder inside the house, and now I couldn't get him out
