G
Listen to this story

          C                  G
It really happened!  Yes, it did!

       G
It was back in those days of glory

       C              G
In my “Grievances” period

       G
I went down to the river

          C       G
I have it all on film

  G
I had her on my mind

       C            G
I have her on film, too
[Chorus]
C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds

C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 2]
            G
There was a flock of ducks there

    C           G
And I’m not kidding

  G
I walked towards them

         C         G
It was a weird feeling

           G
And when I got too close

     C              G
They broke into the sky
[Chorus]
C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds

C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 3]
   G
I approached her too

        C            G
On that same roll of film

   G
An angel she was

    C      G
And this I knew

      G
But I sure was surprised

       C       G
When I got too close

    G
She flew away

    C     G
She flew away
[Chorus]
C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds

C              G     D  G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 4]
    G
And now-a-days

  C       G
I sit and watch

  G
Domestic families

C         G
Stand and talk

   G
Of happy land

    C        G
And kids and love

      G
I sit glassy-eyed

      C          G
But I can’t understand

           G
I can’t comprehend

   C         G
Or gather my thoughts
[Chorus]
C              G     D   G
Scattered like birds

        C              G      D   G
They’re scattered like birds

        C              G      D   G
They’re scattered like birds

C              G     D   G
Scattered like birds
