G                             C                     G
I want a bird, I want a bird, to sing that song for me
G                                    C                   G
I'm just sitting here, sitting here, waiting all impatiently.
G                               C                   G
If that bird, and if that bird, sings that song for me,
              G            C
Then I will try to set her free.
            G                     C
A bird can fly when she wants to leave.
               G                      C
But when she decides now to stay with me,
             G                    C
Then I will know it was meant to be, yeah.

G
I've been searching, all my whole darn day,
C
Looking for what I can find,
G
When a sweet little bird came and flew my way,
C
And said, hey mister do you mind?
G
If I could sit right here, beside you,
C
And I sing my favorite song?
G
And if you don't enjoy my company,
C
Then I'll just ramble on.


G
I want a bird, (I want a bird)
C                     G
To sing that song for me, yeah
         Em
I'm just sitting here, (sitting here)
C                  G
Waiting all impatiently,
G
But if that bird, (if that bird)
C                   G
sings that song for me, yeah
      Em
Then I'll know, (then I'll know)
            C                    G
I said I'll know it was meant to be, yeah


I want a bird,
