E               B              E
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
                 B                  E
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

[Verse 1]
A                    E                    B
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
                  E                   A
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
                  E
You can fly away, in the sky away
B                      E
You're more lucky than me
E            B                                E
I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today
                     B
They're all the same those pretty girls
                               E
Take tenderness, then they fly away

[Chorus]
E               B              E
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
                 B                  E
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me

[Verse 2]
A                E              B
Let her fly away in the sky away

Pick a town and soon
E                      A
Take from night to noon

Black and yellow
    E              B
You like banana too
                        E
They might pick you someday
                   B                              E
Wish that I were a yellow bird, I'd fly away with you
                   B
But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit
                E
Nothing else to do

[Chorus] (Fade out)
E
Yellow bird, yellow bird
E
Yellow bird, yellow bird
