Em


[Verse 1]

Em                             G
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail

G                                 Em
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

Em                            G
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail

G
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

[Chorus]

C
Away, I'd rather sail away

       G
Like a swan that's here and gone

C
A man gets tied up to the ground

             G
He gives the world its saddest sound

            Em
Its saddest sound


[Verse 2]

Em                            G
I'd rather be a forest than a street

G
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

Em                                   G
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet

G
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would



[Chorus]

C
Away, I'd rather sail far away

       G
Like a swan that's here and gone

C
A man gets tied up to the ground

             G
He gives the world its saddest sound

            Em
Its saddest sound
