Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.

C                G                  C
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

F                     C
Did your lady friend, leave the nest again?

G                 C
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.

F                 C
You can fly away, in the sky away..

G                      C
you're more lucky than me.

C             F            G                     C
I also have a pretty girl, she's not with me, today.

C                         F             G
They're all the same, the pretty girls..make them the nest..

               C
then they fly away.

C               G              C
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.

C                G                  C
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

F                C
Better fly away, in the sky away.

G                   C
Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.

F                     C
Black on yellow, you, like banana, too.

G                       C
They might pick you someday.

C                  F            G                 C
Wish that I were a yellow bird..I'd fly away with you.

C              F                G
But I am not a yellow bird..so, here I sit, nothing 

        C
