[verse 1]
             Eb    Bb D
I can see that mockingbird

    Bb
For years he has followed

                      F
Now I don't believe a word

Bb          Eb        Bb
I can see that mockingbird

  Gm         Bb    F
I know he'll never leave

           Eb           Bb
Though his taunts can't hurt




     Eb                 Bb    F
When he flies, he's singing lies

          Eb                     Bb F Bb
And when he flies, he's singin' lies...


[verse 2]
              Eb      Dm
He will never leave my side

Gm              F
Brave though he is

            Gm              F         Bb
And all the countless times he tried

        Eb               Bb
He will meet my fear and pride

  Gm               F
I know he'll never leave

    Eb       Bb
And I cannot hide





          Eb                    Bb F
But when he flies, he's singing lies

         Eb                      Bb F Bb
And when he flies, he's singin' lies...

*Humming*


[verse 3]
               Eb      Bb
I can see that bird of shame

  Gm                F
I won't be ruled by anger

      Gm             F    Bb
And I won't play the game

          Eb           Bb
I can see that bird of shame

    Gm            Cm   F
I'm stronger than that now

        Eb       Bb
I won't bear the blame




          Eb                    Bb F
But when he flies, he's singing lies

         Eb                      Bb
And when he flies, he's singin' lies...

      F       Eb                   Bb F
In his bird disguise, he's singing lies

        Eb                 Bb    F Bb
He'll make you cry, by singin' lies...
