I used an old Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem songbook as the basis and only changed it slightly to suit me.
I play on banjo in open G tuning, but I don’t really know the tuning you’d have it in for guitar.
 
[Moderately]
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
        C                  F
I have seen the lark soar high at
 G               C       G
morn, heard his song up in the blue
        G            C       F
I have heard the blackbird pipe
     G           C
his notes, the thrush and the
  G
linnet too
 
             C       F        Dm
But there's none of them can sing
               G          C   G
so sweet, my singing bird as you
  C   F   C  G         C      G
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my singing bird as you.
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C        F          F     G
If I could lure my singing bird
          C   G
from his own cozy nest
 
   G         C         F      G
If I could catch my singing bird,
         C       G       G
I would warm him on my breast
             C        F       Dm
For there's none of them can sing
 
    Dm           G            G
so sweet, my singing bird as you
  C   F   C  G         C      G
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my singing bird as you.
 
 
[Verse 3]
    C                F
Oh, I will climb a high, high
 G              C        G
tree, and I’ll rob that wild bird’s nest
 
      G          C       F
And I’ll bring back my singing
 G            C        G       G
bird, to the arms that I love best
 
 
              C       F       Dm
For there's none of them can sing
               G       G  C   G
so sweet, my singing bird as you
G  C   F  C  G       C       G
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my singing bird as you.
