[Verse 1]
Ebm Bb7 Ebm Bb7
Early each day to the steps of St. Paul's
Ebm Bb7 Ebm Bb7
The little old bird woman comes.
Ebm Bb7 D#m Bb7
In her own special way to the people she calls,
D#m Bb7 D#m C#7
"Come buy my bags full of crumbs.
[Bridge]
C#7 F#
Come feed the little birds, show them you care,
C#7 F# Bb7
And you'll be glad if you do.
D#m Bb7 D#m Bb7
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare;
D#m Bb7 D#m C#7
All it takes is Tuppence from you."
[Chorus 1]
F# B F#
Feed the birds, Tuppence a bag,
B F# G#7 C#7
Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a bag.
F# B F#
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
B F# C#7 F# Bb7
While overhead, her birds fill the skies.
[Interlude]
D#m Bb7 D#m Bb7
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
D#m Bb7 D#m
Look down as she sells her wares.
F# C#7 F# C#7
Although you can't see it you know they are smiling
F# Bb7 D#m C#7
Each time someone shows that he cares.
[Chorus 2]
F# B F#
Though her words are simple and few,
B F# G#7 C#7
Listen, listen, she calling to you.
F# B Bb7
"Feed the birds, Tuppence a bag,
B F# C#7 F#
Tuppence, Tuppence, Tuppence a bag."
