   F             C
He sang so loud, sang so clear

E                    Am
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear

     F                      C
so i invited him in just to reason with him

  E                   Am
i promised I wouldn't do it again

            F
But he sang louder and louder inside the house

    C
and now i couldn't get him out

     E
so I trapped him under a cardboard box

    Am
and stood on him to make it stop

  F
I picked up the bird and above the din i said

C(stop short)
that's the last song you'll ever sing

F
held him down broke his neck

C
taught him a lesson he wouldnt forget

E Am

    F              C
But in my dreams began to creep

     E            Am
that old familiar tweet, tweet, tweet

  E      
I opened my mouth to scream and shout

  Am
I waved my arms and I flapped about 

      E
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

Am
couldn't scream and couldn't shout

  F
I opened my mouth to scream and shout

  Am
I waved my arms and I flapped about 

      E
but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

    Am                      F       C
the song was coming from my mouth

        E   Am
from my mouth

        F   C
*from my mouth

        E   Am
from my mouth*

*Repeat 4 more times with same chords-you can put variations if you wish, like plucking instead of straight chords

(Am--->)F   C
from my mouth

        E   Am
from my mouth

        F   C
from my mouth

        E        F      C      E      Am      F     C     E      Am
from my mouth (held on)-------------------------------------------->
