[Intro] 0.00 - 0.18
[Verse] 0.19 - 0.34
Gmaj7Why do the birds sing
so eE7arly in the dawn?
Their Am7honeysuckle melodies
beD7fore my day's alarm
0.35 - 0.50
Gmaj7I imagine they're rehearsing
For some E7big elaborate show
That Am7I’ve not been invited to
So D7I should never know
0.51 - 1.06
Gmaj7The songs they like to sing
I supE7pose they’re not too far
From Am7all the songs I sing
When D7I’m alone late in my car
1.07 - 1.22
Gmaj7And if I were the postman
Awake E7for the afternoon
I’d Am7be the lucky someone
EavesD7dropping on their tunes
1.23 - 1.37
Gmaj7But I think I like it better
When I E7sleep late past their call
For Am7all I know perhaps the birds don’t D7even sing at all
[Interlude] 1.38 - 2.08
Gmaj7 E7 Am7 D7x2
[Bridge] 2.09 - 2.32
We all A7know that
Love comes D7easily to you
But not the Ghurt
You're imE7pervious to blue
I wish I Am7knew
How to Dsing about the other colours too
[Solo] 2.33 - end
