[Verse 1]
G
Listen to this story
C G
It really happened! Yes, it did!
G
It was back in those days of glory
C G
In my “Grievances” period
G
I went down to the river
C G
I have it all on film
G
I had her on my mind
C G
I have her on film, too
[Chorus]
C G D G
Scattered like birds
C G D G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 2]
G
There was a flock of ducks there
C G
And I’m not kidding
G
I walked towards them
C G
It was a weird feeling
G
And when I got too close
C G
They broke into the sky
[Chorus]
C G D G
Scattered like birds
C G D G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 3]
G
I approached her too
C G
On that same roll of film
G
An angel she was
C G
And this I knew
G
But I sure was surprised
C G
When I got too close
G
She flew away
C G
She flew away
[Chorus]
C G D G
Scattered like birds
C G D G
Scattered like birds
[Verse 4]
G
And now-a-days
C G
I sit and watch
G
Domestic families
C G
Stand and talk
G
Of happy land
C G
And kids and love
G
I sit glassy-eyed
C G
But I can’t understand
G
I can’t comprehend
C G
Or gather my thoughts
[Chorus]
C G D G
Scattered like birds
C G D G
They’re scattered like birds
C G D G
They’re scattered like birds
C G D G
Scattered like birds
