[A][Am][E][G][D][G][Dm]
[A][Am][E][G][D]
[G][Dm][F]
[Am]The ostrich and the egret

[Verse 1]
[E]
Had a very fine flat to let.
[Dm]Figurine [Bdim]hutch,
no the place wasn't much, but they
[E]Got a peacock.
[Am]His belongings were meager but,
[E]He was pretty, would bring good luck.
[Dm]They would sing [E]songs all
[Bdim]around the pia[E]no and
Do the cakewalk.
[Am]He would say what he's gonna do.
[E]He would say what he wanted to.
Ostrich [Dm]and egret were [F]filled with regret,
but the
[E]Rent's well worth him.
[Am]He felt things that they'd never felt.
[E]Like the slap of a feather belt.
So till they [Dm]sat by the [F]fireplace silent.
A [E]chill ran through them.
Ostrich and egret and peacock
had very [Am]small dreams.
[D]Picturing [Dm]them just re[Bb]minded
them of calendar [Am]scenes.
[Dm]Nobody's laughing when every[Bb]one's weeping,[A]
it seems.
So that's how we quit the [E]forest.[Am][E]
The [A]scene [Am]wasn[D]'t what
it used [G]to be.
The scene is nev[Fdim]er what [G]it used to be.
[E]So, that's how we qui[Am]t the forest.
[Esus4][E][Am][F][E]
[Am]The scene wasn[D]'t what it
used [E]to be.[G]
The scene is [Fdim]never what it used to be.
[E]So, that's how we qui[Eaug]t the f[E]orest.[Am][A][Am]
