Gordon Bok - A most unpleasant way sir

It was in the ^Gfalling ^Emsummer ^Crain, I ^Gfound myself one ^B7day, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em} And I met a young ^Gman with a ^Embird in his ^Chand, and ^Gthis to me did ^B7say, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em} "This ^Gbird you ^Asee has ^F#mbeen with me since the ^Gtwenty-third of ^F#mMay, sir" And ^Emall the ^Gtime the ^Emrain came ^Cdown in a ^Gmost unpleasant ^B7way, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em B7 Em}

Well, I looked at the ^Gbird in the ^Emyoung man's ^Chand and the ^Gbird looked back at ^B7me, s^Emir ^{B7 Em} 'Twas a vulture ^Gplain from the ^Emhills of ^CSpain, I ^Gcould so clearly ^B7see, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em} I ^Gsaid, "I ^Afear it's ^F#mwaiting here for ^Gyou to pass a^F#mway, sir" And ^Emall the ^Gtime the ^Emrain came ^Cdown in a ^Gmost unpleasant ^B7way, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em B7 Em}

Well, the young man ^Gshook his ^Emhead and ^Ccried, "What^Gever shall I ^B7do, ^Emsir? ^{B7 Em} For I swear it's ^Gonly ^Emright and ^Cfair that I ^Ggive this bird to ^B7you, ^Emsir" ^{B7 Em} I ^Ganswered, "^ANo" and ^F#mturned to go, but ^Gsomething made me ^F#mstay, sir And the ^Embird was ^Gsitting ^Emon my ^Carm in a ^Gmost unpleasant ^B7way, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em B7 Em}

So, here I've ^Gstood u^Empon this ^Cspot for ^Gmany's the night and ^B7day, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em} For who could ^Gtend my ^Emfeathered ^Cfriend, 'til ^Gyou came by this ^B7way, ^Emsir? ^{B7 Em} And ^Gnow the ^Abird to ^F#myou transferred, I ^Gcan no longer ^F#mstay, sir For it ^Emhurts to ^Gsee you ^Emlook at ^Cme in that^G most unpleasant ^B7way, ^Emsir ^{B7 Em B7 Em}
