Birds (UKULELE CHORDS) by Thomas Sanders
[Intro]~
Eb
[Verse 1]~
Eb G#
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
Eb G#
I don't wanna jug my Saturday away
Emaj7 Gm Gm
But I don't wanna go home yet
[Verse 2]~
Eb G#
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
Eb G#
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
Emaj7 Gm Gm
But I don't wanna go home yet
[Chorus]~
Gm Eb
I don't wanna watch the birds go by
Gm G#
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
Gm Eb
I wanna watch them fly and fly
Gm G# A7
And see them soar up into the unknown
Amaj7
But I'd feel just like a nerd
Gm
Watching birds
Watching me here all alone
Eb
[Verse 3]~
G#
I don't wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
Eb G#
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
[Verse 4]~
Eb G#
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I'm not up for a match of polo
Eb G#
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
Emaj7 Gm Gm
I'm also not up for... water polo
[Chorus]~
Gm Eb
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Gm G#
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
Gm Eb
I wanna watch them from my chair
Gm G#
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
Amaj7 Gm
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
Eb
[Bridge]~
Bb G# Gm G#
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and mynas
Bb G# Ebadd9 Bb
It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist
Gm# Emaj Gm
Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away
Gm Eb
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
Gm Eb G#
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
Gm Eb
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet calm still
Gm G# A7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
Amaj7 Gm Emaj Amaj7
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.
Gm Amaj7 Eb
I just wanna be alone
