The Wainwright Sisters - El Condor Pasa
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
I'd rather be a sparrow than a Gsnail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely Emwould
[Chorus]
ACway, I'd rather sail away
Like a Gswan that's here and gone
A Cman gets tied up to the ground
He gives the Gworld its saddest sound
It's saddest Emsound
[Verse 2]
I'd rather be a hammer than a Gnail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely Emwould
[Chorus]
ACway, I'd rather sail away
Like a Gswan that's here and gone
A Cman gets tied up to the ground
He gives the Gworld its saddest sound
It's saddest Emsound
[Verse 3]
I'd rather be a forest than a Gstreet
Yes I would, if I could, I surely Emwould
[Chorus]
ACway, I'd rather sail away
Like a Gswan that's here and gone
A Cman gets tied up to the ground
He gives the Gworld its saddest sound
It's saddest Emsound
[Verse 4]
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my Gfeet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely Emwould
[Chorus]
ACway, I'd rather sail away
Like a Gswan that's here and gone
A Cman gets tied up to the ground
He gives the Gworld its saddest sound
It's saddest Emsound

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail

Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

It's saddest sound

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail

Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

[Chorus]

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

It's saddest sound

[Verse 3]

I'd rather be a forest than a street

Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

[Chorus]

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

It's saddest sound

[Verse 4]

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet

Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would

[Chorus]

Away, I'd rather sail away

Like a swan that's here and gone

A man gets tied up to the ground

He gives the world its saddest sound

It's saddest sound
