Intro:  [Am] [C] [Am] [C]  

I'd [Am] rather be a sparrow than a [C] snail

[G] Yes I [C] would, if I only [C] could, I surely would [Am]… hmmm 

CHORUS  - - - - A-[F]way, I’d rather sail away 
Like a [C] swan that’s [G] here and [C] gone

He gives the [C] world its [G] saddest [C] sound 
Its [G] saddest [Am] sound.. [G] hm[Am]mm 

[Am] I'd rather be a forest than a [C] street 
[G] Yes I [C] would, if I [C] could, I surely [Am] would.. hmmm
