C

1. Take away the trees

and the birds all have to sit upon the ground, um,

C

and take away their wings

G

and the birds will have to walk to get around.

C C7 F

And take away the bird baths and dirty birds will soon be ev'rywhere,

D G

take away their feathers and the birds will walk around in underwear.

C

2. Take away their chirp

and the birds will have to whisper when they sing (chirp chirp),

C

and take away their common sense

G

and they'll be headed southward in the spring.

C C7

Oh, remember me, my darling, when spring is in the air

F

and the bald headed birds are whisp'ring ev'rywhere,

G

when you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear,

C

the Tennessee Bird Walk.

3. How about some trees

so the birds won't have to sit upon the ground, um ?

C

And how about some wings

G

so the birds won't have to walk to get around ?

C C7 F

And how about a bird bath or two, so the birds will all be clean ?

D

And how about some feathers

G

so their underwear no longer will be seen ?

C

4. How about a chirp

so the birds won't have to whisper when they sing (chirp chirp) ?

C

And how about some common sense

G

so they won't be blocking traffic in the spring ?

C C7

Oh, remember me, my darling, when spring is in the air

F

and the bald headed birds are whisp'ring ev'rywhere,

G

when you see them walking southward in their dirty underwear

C

the Tennessee Bird walk,

C

the Tennessee Bird walk,

C

the Tennessee Bird walk ….
