Yellow bird, you [Dm7] sit all [G7] alone like [C] me

[G7] You're more [Dm7] lucky than [C] me
Chorus: I also have a [Dm7] pretty girl
[G7] She's not with me to [C] day
There're all the same that [Dm7] pretty girl
[G7] Take them the nest [Dm7] Then they [G7] fly [C] away
2. [C] Yellow bird, up [Dm7] high in ba [G7] nana [C] tree
Yellow bird, you [Dm7] sit all [G7] alone like [C] me
[F] Let her fly away. [C] In the sky away
[G7] Pick the town then soon. [C] Pick from night to noon
[F] Black and yellow you. [C] Like banana too
