D                A              D
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
                  A                  D
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

Chorus:
Em                   D
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
A                 D
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
Em                D
You can fly away, in the sky away
A                      D
You're more lucky than me

D             Em            A                  D
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
                            Em
They're all the same those pretty girls
A                                D
Take tenderness, then they fly away
           A D          A D
Yellow bird, yellow bird

Chorus

D                  Em           A                  D
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you
                Em           A
But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit
               D
Nothing I can do
                C#   D
Yellow bird, yellow bird
