[Intro]
C - Am - D7/F# - F (hold F for a longer time)
[Verse 1]
C
There was a house halfway 'round the world
Am
And I was invited in for a small taste of gin
D7/F#
There was a hallway a thousand birds long
F
But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small
C
I asked the caretaker 'cause he was their maker
Am
He looked at me and laughed, took another sip from his glass
D7/F#
He said, open up your ears and hearts
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and he'll sing you a song
[Chorus 1]
F C
That we all love to sing along
F C
To the sound of the bird that mourns
Am - D7/F# - F
[Verse 2]
C
Well, we rolled into town and the sweet New Orleans
Am
To the Apple Barrel bar, it was a hole in the wall
D7/F#
The ceilings weren't tall, the floors filled with grime
F
But the sound that you would make would just warm their hearts
C
Well, it was quarter to 12 and the boys walked in
Am
They got their black suits on and the songs would begin
D7/F#
You open up your ears and hearts
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and it'll sing you a song
[Chorus 2]
F C
That we all love to sing along
F C Em
To the sound of the bird that mourns
F C G
To the sound of the bird that mourns
F C
To the sound of the bird that mourns
Am - D7/F# - F
To the sound of the bird that mourns
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song
F C
You put a big bird in a small cage and it will sing you a song
