Hey all, I noticed that this amazing song wasn't on this site, so I watched some
live versions and figured it out the best i could. I hope you guys find it correct.
G C G
I want a bird, I want a bird, to sing that song for me
G C G
I'm just sitting here, sitting here, waiting all impatiently.
G C G
If that bird, and if that bird, sings that song for me,
G C
Then I will try to set her free.
G C
A bird can fly when she wants to leave.
G C
But when she decides now to stay with me,
G C
Then I will know it was meant to be, yeah.

G
I've been searching, all my whole darn day,
C
Looking for what I can find,
G
When a sweet little bird came and flew my way,
C
And said, hey mister do you mind?
G
If I could sit right here, beside you,
C
And I sing my favorite song?
G
And if you don't enjoy my company,
C
Then I'll just ramble on.
G
I want a bird, (I want a bird)
C G
To sing that song for me, yeah
Em
I'm just sitting here, (sitting here)
C G
Waiting all impatiently,
G
But if that bird, (if that bird)
C G
sings that song for me, yeah
Em
Then I'll know, (then I'll know)
C G
I said I'll know it was meant to be, yeah
I want a bird,
To sing that song for me, yeah
I'm just sitting here, (sitting here)
Waiting all impatiently, yeah
And if that bird, (if that bird)
Sings that song for me
Then I will try to set her free,
A bird can fly when she wants to leave
When if she decides now to stay with me
Then I will know it was meant to be, yeah
