[Intro 1]
[Bm][D][G][A][Bm][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]What kind of bird is [Em]that
The [A]one with the bright red [D]breast
I [G]know [A]it just [D]can't be [Bm]the robin
'Cause [G]my love is [A]not back [D]yet

[Verse 2]
[Em]
The one [A]I love and wanted to marry
[D]Had to leave before she became my [G]bride
[A]But she said she'd return
[D]Before the rob[Bm]in wou[G]ld return
And [A]with each other we'd spend

[Verse 3]
[D]
our lives
And she said she'd return
[Em]Long before the robin [A]returned

[Verse 4]
And together we'd watch [D]the leaves
turn [G]green
She showed [A]me then just how much
[D]she loves [Bm]me
[G]And she and I and the [A]robin
[D]can spend the spring

[Verse 5]
So [D]what kind of bird is [Em]that
The [A]one with the bright red [D]breast
I [G]know [A]it just [D]can't be the [Bm]robin
'Cause [G]my love is [A]not back [D]yet[Bb]
[Eb]

[Verse 6]
[Fm]
So who could be playin' [Bb]tricks on me
[Eb]By the time that I relax
and countin' [Ab]leaves[Bb]
That can't [Eb]be a spring,
yeah [Cm]surely that can't [Ab]be
'Cause the one [Bb]I love, she's [Eb]not with me

[Verse 7]
Oh, [Eb]what kind of bird is [Fm]that
The [Bb]one with the bright red [Eb]breast
I [Ab]know [Bb]it just c[Eb]an't be the ro[Cm]bin
'Cause [Ab]my love is no[Bb]t back ye[Cm]t[Eb][Ab][Bb]
