Capo 6
Am Dm F E
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's,
Am E Am
the little old bird woman comes.
Am Dm F E
In her own special way to the people she calls,
Am E Am
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.
G C
Come feed the little birds, show them you care,
G C - E
and you'll be glad if you do.
Am Dm F E
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare,
Am E Am - G
all it takes is tuppence from yo…….u."
C Em F C
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
F C D7 G
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
C Em F C
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
F C G C E
while overhead, her birds fill the skies.
Am Dm Am E
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Am E Am
look down as she sells her wares.
C G C G
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling,
C E Am - G
each time someone shows that he cares.
C Em F C
Though her words are simple and few,
F C D7 G
listen, listen, she's calling to you:
C Em F E
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
F Dm F G C E
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."
(+ repeat verse 2, lines 1 to 4 as instrumental)
C Em F C
Though her words are simple and few,
F C D7 G
listen, listen, she's calling to you:
C Em F E
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
F Dm F G F C
tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."
