[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][Am][G][C][D][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sweet
little [D]songbird sitting [C]on a [D]wire
[G]Sing the [D]fire from your [C]belly so [Am]small
[G]Sound waves [D]roll and the
waves [C]spread [D]wide
[G]You sing a [D]song until it's six [C]feet [G]tall
Walking, stomping,
[C]stalking down the [D]sidewalk
[G]Wearing clothes, standing [C]side by [Am]side
[G]Fly little [D]songbirds on [C]to the [D]next stop
[G]You sing a [D]song, we look each other [C]in the [G]eye [D]like
[C][D][G][D][Em][C][Am][G][C][D][G][D][Am][D][G]
Who all can tell you not to sing your story?
Who all can tell you that
you're singing off [D]-key?
[G]You are the dance, you are not the [D]dancer
[G]You [D]are the [G]song, not the [C]one [Am]who sing
[G]Be a beautiful son[D]g, son[Em]gbird[D]
[C]Now be a [G]beautiful [D]song,
[Em]songbird[D][C]
Now be a [G]beautiful [D]song, [Em]songbird[D]
[C]And you tell [D]the [G]truth[D][Em][D][C]
[G]Me woman
[D]Trini [G]got a [D]wild imagination
[G]He think dey [D]looking
when he walk on [Am]by
[G]He think dey [D]world is one [C]big [D]mirror
[G]Him get up[D]set and then
he don't [C]feel [G]right
When he walk it's dark and stalking
[C]down the [D]sidewalk
[G]Sporting clothes, [D]strutting [C]stride by [Am]stride
[G]I tell him,
[D]Trini, you are not what [C]you con[D]sider
[G]I stop and dare to w[D]hen
I look him [C]in the [G]eye
Say, who all can tell you not
to sing your story?
Who all can tell you that
you're singing off key
You are the dance, you are not the [D]dancer
[G]You are the song, [D]not the one [Am]who [G]sings
Be a beautiful [D]song, [Em]songbird[D][C]
Now [Am]be a b[G]eautiful s[D]ong,
[Em]songbird[D], song[C]bird[G][C]
Now be a [G]beautiful [D]song, [Em]songbird[D][C]
And you tell the [G]truth[D][Em][D][C]
[Am]You get up[Em]set and then you d[C]on't feel,
you [G]don't [C]feel [D]right
You [Am]try to f[Em]ly up s[Am]traight,
[C]then you fly[G] up [C]tig[D]ht
[A]We [Am]try to talk about l[C]ife
like it's [G]all in [C]advance
[D]Lif[Am]e is the dan[Em]ce, sir,
[C]you are the [G]dance[D]
So be a [G]beautiful [D]song, [Em]songbird[D]
[C]Now, be a [G]beautiful [D]song,
[Em]songbird[D], song[C]bird
Now, be a [G]beautiful [D]song, [Em]songbird[D]
[C]And you [D]tell the [G]truth[D][Em][D][C]
Tell the truth
[G]truth
