[Verse 1]
D A
Sittin' in the morning sun
Bm G D
And watching all the birds passing by

Oh how sweet they sing
Bm G D
And oh how much I wish that I could fly
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
And I try, I said I try
A G
I try, I really try try try
[Chorus]
D G
But I got to Pick myself up
D G D G D G
Dust myself off, start all over, again
D G
I got to Pick myself up
D G D G D G
Dust myself off, start all over, again
[Verse 2]
D A
Sittin' in the midday sun
Bm G D
And wondering where my meal's coming from
A
After working so hard
Bm G D
Not even piece of bread at the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
A G
And I said try, Oh lord I try
A G
I try, I really try try try
[Chorus]

But I got to Pick myself up

Dust myself off, start all over, again

Sittin' in the evening sun
Bm G D
And watching the same birds passing by

Sittin' and wondering

And waiting for the time for me to fly
[Pre-Chorus]

And I try, said I try

Good lord I try, I really try try try

Dust myself off, start all over, again
