#1.
G C G
I remember back a long time ago, in the days
D
of my childhood.
G C
In the evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low,
G D
walkin' in the wildwood.
G C G
Skippin' and flippin' through the flowers, we'd
D
go hand-in-hand.
G C G
Lookin' back on all the happy hours, anybody
F C
could understand you and me, babe, just got to
D
be, now.
CHORUS:
G E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am D G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
E
la la la la la la la.
Am D G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.
#2.
G C G
You and I didn't have a lot of friends, didn't have
D
too much to say.
G C G
So, they never did let us join in all the games that
D
they used to play.
G C G D
Seems like it was only yesterday, kinda thinkin' junior
high.
G C G
I remember what the kids used to say as we'd go
F C G D
strollin' by..you and me, now, sure enough got to be,
now.
CHORUS:
G E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am D G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
E
la la la la la la la.
Am D G
We should be together like, yeah..oh, yeah.
BRIDGE:
G B C D
Time goes rollin' by, and they say that you and I will go
G B
our separate ways.
C G
But birds of a feather will always be together.
#3.
G C G
Your folks didn't want me hangin' 'round, said that I
D
was bad for you.
G C G
So, we'd meet on the other side of town, down a long dark
D
avenue.
G C G
But they can't keep the two of us apart long as you really
D
love me.
G C G
I got the feelin' way down in my heart, that's the way it's
D F C D
gonna be..you and me, babe..sure enough got to be, now.
CHORUS:
G E
Birds of a feather, la la la la la la la.
Am D G
We should be together like birds of a feather..
G E
birds of a feather, la la la la la la la..
Am D G E
We should be together like birds of a feather, la la la
la la la la..
OUTRO:
Am D G E
We should be together like birds of a feather, la la la
la la la la..
A D G E

la la la la..(Fade.)
