D

[Chorus]
D            A                 D
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
D                A                  D
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Em                  D
Did you lady friend leave the nest again?
 A                D
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
Em                D
You can fly away, in the sky away.
A                    D
Your more lucky than me.

[Verse 1]
D            A                              D
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today.
D                          A 
They're all the same those pretty girls.
A                              D
Take tenderness, then they fly away.

[Chorus]
 D             A              D
Yellow Bird Up High in banana Tree
D                A                  D
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

Em                  D
Did you lady friend leave the nest again?
A                 D
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
Em                D
You can fly away, in the sky away.
A                    D
Your more lucky than me.

[Verse 2]
D                  A                              D
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you.
               A
But I am not a yellow bird, So here I sit.
              D
Nothing I can do.
D
Yellow bird, yellow bird.
