D      G         D A
I'm a house wren, hunting for a house
D          G         D       A
I haven't found one, I'm on the lookout
D      G            D A
For a home to call my own
    D      G       D A
A private residence

Through the grapevine I heard an empty gourd
Is hangin' up somewhere on some old lady's porch
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
To my new humble abode

Chorus:
           G  D A
I'm gonna sing
        G                             D         A
at the top of my lungs 'cause it's a beautiful day
            G     D  A
I'm gonna spread my wings
           Em       F#m
'Cause as far as I know
   G  A
I am halfway home

I'm a house wren who needs a summer home
A country farmhouse or a quiet bungalow
Not too big, and not too small
First-rate real estate
I got my eyes peeled for a window box
An old tin can, a boot or a flower pot
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
To my new humble abode

Chorus

I'm a house wren still hunting for a house
But I got a song and a lot to sing about
I'll pack my bags and off I'll go
Because you know

Chorus:
I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs
'Cause it's a beautiful day
I'm gonna spread my wings
I'm on top of the world
And it's a beautiful thing
I'm gonna sing at the top of my lungs
'Cause it's a beautiful day
I'm gonna spread my wings
'Cause as far as I know
I am halfway home

I am halfway home
