You can put a capo wherever fits your voice the most, the original is a little too low
for me so I put my capo
on the 2nd fret.
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D Em
Hummingbird, you barely sing
G/Em G A7 D
the only song I hear, your humming wings.
D Em
Humming bee you never sting,
G/Em G A7 D
and I held on for hours, but didn't feel a thing.
[Chorus]
G A7 D
It's hard to tell how hard it's been,
Bm G
to have a name that hardly fits.
G A7 D
It's hard to know what to expect,
Bm G A7
hard to have when nothing's left.
[Verse]
D Em
Seahorse where'd your saddle go?
G/Em G A7 D
..so much for pony rides down coral roads
D Em
Forest Pike you've never seen
G/Em G A7 D
a single blade of grass or leaves on trees
[Chorus]
G A7 D
It's hard to tell how hard it's been,
Bm G
to have a name that hardly fits.
G A7 D
It's hard to know what to expect,
Bm G A7
hard to have when nothing's left.
[Verse]
D Em
Mary-Beth where is your ring?
G/Em G A7 D
You've never loved much more than summer flings
D Em
Sarah-Grace you wear a frown,
G/Em G A7 D
it's not so elegant to keep falling down.
[Ending]
D
