Little Jazz Bird

(F#aug)Into a (Dm)(E)cabaret, (Cm)one (D7)fatal (C#aug)day,

(Cmaj7)a (G)little songbird (D7)flew;

(G)'found (F#aug)it so (Dm)very (E)gay, (Cm)he (D7)thought he'd (C#aug)stay,

(Cmaj7)just to (Baug)get (Gm)a (A7)(D9)(G6)bird'seyeview.

(G)When he (Em)heard the jazz band (A9)playing,

he was (Em)happy as a (A9)lark;

to each (D)measure he kept (Baug)swaying (B7)and he (Em7)stayed till (A7)after (D9)dark.

Then (G)back (F#aug)to the (Dm)land he (E)knew,

(Cm)thrilled (D7)through and (C#aug)through, (Cmaj7)he (Baug)sailed (Gm)on (A7)in (C)the (D9)air;

(G)called (F#aug)all the (Dm)other (E7)birds, (Cm)and (D7)in these (C#7)words,

(Cmaj7)started (Baug)(Bb7)gurgling (A7)then (D9)and (G)there:

(D7sus)I'm a (G)little jazz bird, and I'm (D7)telling you to be one,

(G7)too, (D7)for a (G)little jazz bird is in (D7)heaven when it's singing (Bm)"blue."

(Am7)I say it with regret,

(D7)but you're out (D9)of (G)date;

(Em)you ain't heard nothing yet,

(Em)till you (A9)(D7)syncopate.

When the (G)going is rough you will (D7)find your troubles all have (G7)flown,

(D7)if you (G)warble your stuff like the (D7)moaning of a (G)saxophone.

(C)Just (Em)try my (Am)(D7)recipe,

and I'm (D9)sure you'll (B7)agree (D7)that a (G)little jazz bird is the (D7)only kind of bird to (G)be!

(D7)I'm a (G)little jazz bird, and I'm (D7)telling you to be one,

(Am7)I say it with (D7)regret,

but you're (D9)out of (G)date;

(Em)you ain't heard nothing (A7)yet,

(Em)till you (A9)(D7)syncopate.

When the (G)going is rough you will (D7)find your troubles all have (G7)flown,

(D7)I'm a (G)be!
