D   A   D
(whistles)
[Verse 1]
D                     G
Sometimes birds don't have enough to eat

        A                      D
There's not enough food in the fields or the street

                                      G
There are too many cities where there used to be trees

        D          A       D
So it's left up to you and me
[Chorus]
D                         G
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing

D   A   D
(whistles)

                    G
The prettiest music you have ever heard

       D           A              D
Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 2]
D                                 G
First, you get some peanut butter out of a jar

    A                    D
And you can buy a bag of bird seed anywhere

                                G
You mix it all together and you put it on the ground

    D               A           D
And pretty soon the birds come around
[Chorus]
D                         G
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing

D   A   D
(whistles)

                    G
The prettiest music you have ever heard

       D           A              D
Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 3]
     D                         G
Some people buy spray and they spray it on the land

     A                         D
They kill all the little bitty bugs that they can

                              G
The birds eat the bugs and it makes them sick

  D              A          D
I wish we didn't have to do that
[Chorus]
       D                         G
'cause everybody loves to hear a bird sing

D   A   D
(whistles)

                    G
The prettiest music you have ever heard

       D           A              D
Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 4]
D                                  G
Right now, you're young and you're not very tall

       A                           D
You're really very busy and you're really very small

                              G
Someday when you're older and things go wrong

       D            A           D
You're gonna need a pretty bird song
[Chorus]
        D                         G
Because everybody loves to hear a bird sing

D   A   D
(whistles)

                    G
The prettiest music you have ever heard

       D           A              D
That's how to make friends with a bird
[Outro]
D   A   D
