I'd rather be a sparrow than a Gsnail
DYes I Gwould, Dif I Gcould, I B7surely Emwould - B7Hm, Emhm, hm, hm
I'd Emrather be a hammer than a Gnail
DYes I Gwould, if I D7only Gcould, I B7surely Emwould - B7Hm, Emhm, hm, hm
[Chorus]
ACway, I'd rather sail aCway
Like a Gswan that's Dhere and Ggone
A Cman gets tied up to the Cground
He gives the Gworld its Dsaddest Gsound
B7 Em B7 | Em B7 | Em |
Its saddest sound - Hm, hm
[Verse]
I'd Emrather be a forest than a Gstreet
DYes I Gwould, Dif I Gcould, I B7surely Emwould
I'd Emrather feel the earth beneath my Gfeet
DYes I Gwould, if I D7only Gcould, I B7surely Emwould
