(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird, (F#dim)up (Gm7)high in (C7)banana (F)tree.
(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird, (F#dim)you (Gm7)sit all (C7)alone like (F)me.
(Bb6)Did your lady frien' (F)leave de nest again?
(C7)Dat is very sad, (F)make me feel so bad.
(Bb6)You can fly away, (F)in the sky away.
(C7)You more (Gm7)lucky (C7)dan (F)me!
I also have a (Gm7)pretty gal,
(C7)She not with me (F)today.
Dey all de same, de (Gm7)pretty gal,
(C7)make dem de nest, (Gm7)den dey (C7)fly (F)away!
(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird, (F#dim)up (Gm7)high in (C7)banana (F)tree.
(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird, (F#dim)you (Gm7)sit all (C7)alone like (F)me.
(Bb6)Better fly away (F)in de sky away.
(C7)Picker comin' soon, (F)pick from night to noon.
(Bb6)Black an' yellow you, (F)like banana too.
(C7)Dey might pick (Gm7)you (C7)some (F)day!
Wish dat I was a (Gm7)yellow bird,

(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird.
(Fdim)Yellow (F)bird.
(E)Yellow (F)bird.
