[Verse 1]

I'd rath-er be a spar-row than a snail

Yes I would, if I could, I sure-ly would, hmm...

I'd rath-er be a ham-mer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could...
I sure-ly would, hmm...

Away, I'd rather sail a-way...
        G
Like a swan that's here and gone
   C
A man gets tied up to the ground
               G                 (Bm)
He gives the world it's saddest-sound
             Em
It's saddest sound
 
[Verse 3]
(verse 1 chords)
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

(verse 1 chords)
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

Nice chords! I played it without a capo at all and it sounds fine to me.

Cool, but the song is called El Condor Pasa!

Sounds all good, but I think the Bm chord there should be B instead. Makes more sense musically, and all the spanish style songs have the V(7) instead of v, and this one sounds very traditional. Thanks for the work though. Yusif https://www.reverbnation.com/yusiftheranger
