It’s not that I want you
Am7Not to say, but Dif you only Emknew how Am7easy
DIt would be to Gshow me D/F#how you Emfeel
More than Am7words
Is Dall you have to G7do to make it reCal
Then you Cmwouldn’t have to Gsay that you Emlove me
‘Cause Am7I’d alDready Gknow
GWhat would you Ddo if my Emheart was Dtorn in Ctwo
More than words to show you feAm7el
That your Dlove for me is Greal
What would you Dsay if I Emtook those Dwords awaCy
Then you couldn’t make things Am7new
Just by Dsaying « I love Gyou »Am7
D More than wGords
Am7D
Now but I’ve tried to talk to you
And make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
And touch me
Hold me close, don’t ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
‘Cause I’d already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
When you couldn’t make things new
Just by saying « I love you »
More than words
DYelC#low Dbird, up A7high in banana Dtree.
DYelC#low Dbird, you A7sit all alone like Dme.D7
GDid your lady friend Dleave the nest again?
A7That is very bad, Dmakes me feel so sad.
GYou can fly away, Din the sky away
A7You more lucky than me.
DI also have a Gpretty girl
A7She’s not with me toDday.
DThey all the same, the Gpretty girl
A7Make ’em the nest. Then they fly aDway.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Better fly away, in the sky away,
Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon.
Black and yellow you, like banana too
They may pick you some day.
Wish that I was a yellow bird,
I’d fly away with you.
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothing else to do.
YELLOW BURT, THE SOFTEST COPPER ROUND ‘ERE
YELLOW BURT, A COWARD, A WHIMP, THAT’S CLEAR
ARE YOUR P.C. FRIENDS ON THE BEAT AGAIN
THAT IS VERY SAD, MAKES ME FEEL SO BAD
KNOCK HIS HELMET OFF, KICK N’ SLAP THE PUFF
HE’S A YELLOW BELLY
BURT’S A BLEEDIN’ SOFTY…

FThis change in D7me
GmWhat can it C7be?[x3]
Is it really true?
If the answer is « yes »
Then I confess
G7Here´s who I owe it C7to :
FPhotogenic, sF#7chizophrenic FyouC7
FWith your goldenF#7 hair asFkewF7
I B♭drool about your dual B♭mpersonality
F´Cause I know that both of them are made for me
G7Photogenic, schizophrenic C7you9-
Photogenic, schizophrenic you
Though your every mood is blue
You have gazed at no one else, I swear
FYou have told me by your vacant stare
And my name on F#7your tatFtoo
C#7[Mod +½ ton]
F#Photogenic, sG7chizophrenic F#youC#7
F#With your thirty-G7six I.F#Q.F#7
Your Btender kisses give me Bmjust as many thrills
F#As if I took twenty E♭7tranquilizer pills
G#7Photogenic, schizophrenic C#7you9-
You have gained so very much renown
In your strapless hospital gown
Oh, I will spoon with you for all my life
´Cause they won´t let me have a fork or knive
F#Photogenic, sC#7/9-chizophrenic F#you
And your new tattoo
Ooh!
We passed upon the Astairs,
And spoke in walls and wellsDm, Although I wasn’t Athere
He said I was his Ffriend, Which came as a surCprise
I spoke into his Aeyes, I thought you died aDmlone
A long, long time aCgo.
Oh Cno, not Fme, We C#never lost conFtrol,
You’re Cface, to Fface, With the C#man who sold the Aworld.
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home, I searched afar the land,
for years and years I roamed, I gazed a gazely stare
We walked a million hills, I must have died alone,
A long long time ago
Who knows, not me, I never lost control,
You’re face, to face, With the man who sold the world.
DDown the way where the Gnights are gay
And the A7sun shines daily on the Dmoun[Ad Lib]tain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[Refrain :]
But I’m sad to say, I’m on my way
Won’t be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare that my heart is there
Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico
[Refrain]
Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their head they bear
Ackie rice and salt fish is nice
And the rum is good any time of year
[Refrain x2]
An Geffervescing elephant
With tiny eyes, and great big trunk
Once Cwhispered to the tiny ears
The Cmears of one inferior
That Gby next june he’d die, oh yeah!
Because the tiger would D7roam
And the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home
And everytime I hear a growl
I’ll (G7)know the tigers on the prowl
And I’ll be really safe you know
The elephant he told me so
And everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
And the message was spread
To zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
Who wollowed in the mud and chewed
His spicy hippoplancton food
And tended to ignore the word
Prefering to survey a herd
Of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
And the jungle took fright
And ran around for all the day and the night
But all in vain because you see
The tiger came and said to me,
You know I wouldnt hurt not one of you
I much prefer something to chew
Youre all too scant, oh yeah!
He ate the elephant…
