[Verse 1]
C Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
C
What you doin' way up there?
C Dm
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
C
Are you looking for your lady fair?
F C
Did she fly away to another tree?
F C
Do you know not where she hides?
F C
All day you sing the same old song
Dm
She must be hard to find
[Verse 2]
C Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
C
What's it like to be able to fly?
Dm
I figure if I had wings like you
C
Not a wasted day'd go by
F C
I'd fly above the mountaintops
F C
I'd do barrel-rolls and dives
F C
I'd snack upon the wiggly worms
Dm
And be happy all my life
[Instrumental]

C Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
C
What you doin' way up there?
Dm
Why do you sing, why do you sing?
C
Are you looking for your lady fair?
F C
Did she leave you late in the summertime
F C
After such a lovely spring?
F C
Are ya 'fraid that come the winter
Dm
You'll be left in the cold and lonely?
[Verse 4]
C Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
C
Who taught you to sing so well?
Dm
Do you know that I am listening?
C
Brother bird, can you even tell?
F C
And though your love might be far away
F C
Even in another town
F C
You sing your song all through the day
Dm
In case she comes around
[Instrumental]

C Dm
Bird in a tree, bird in a tree
C
Oh, the sun is getting wide
Dm
Soon the night will come
C
And the morning won't be for a while
F C
So fare thee well, dear friend of mine
F C
What a pleasure, I must say
F C
We both should prob'ly get some sleep
Dm C
Tomorrow's another day
