AmDmFE
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's,
AmEAm
the little old bird woman comes.
AmDmFE
In her own special way to the people she calls,
AmEAm
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.
GC
Come feed the little birds, show them you care,
GC - E
and you'll be glad if you do.
AmDmFE
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare,
AmEAm - G
all it takes is tuppence from yo…….u."
CEmFC
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
FCD7G
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
CEmFC
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
FCGCE
while overhead, her birds fill the skies.
AmEAmE
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
AmEAm
look down as she sells her wares.
CGCG
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling,
CEAm - G
each time someone shows that he cares.
CEmFC
Though her words are simple and few,
FCD7G
listen, listen, she's calling to you:
CEmFE
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
FDmFGCE
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."
(+ repeat verse 2, lines 1 to 4 as instrumental)
CEmFC
Though her words are simple and few,
FCD7G
listen, listen, she's calling to you:
CEmFE
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
FDmFGFC
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."
