Yellow     bird, up high in banana tree
D   Fdim       D     D  A7               D  D7
Yellow        bird, you sit all alone like me
G     G/F#   Em7     D      D7M     D6
Did your lady friend leave the nest again
A7     Em7   A7    D    D7M    D7
That is very  sad, makes me feel so bad
G    G/F#    Em7  D     F#m   Bm7
You can fly away, in the sky away

You're more lucky than me

I also have a pretty girl  she's not with me     today
D            D7    G      Em7
They're all the same, the pretty girls
A7       Gdim   A7      A7/13   A7   D
They tend the nest, then they fly   away

Yel -  low    bird, you sit all alone like me

Better fly away, in the sky away

Picker coming soon, pick from night to noon
G      G/F#   Em7   D     D7M   D6
Black and yellow you, like banana too 
A7     A7    A7/13  A7  D
They might pick  you  some day
D       D7    G     Em7     A7      Em7 Gdim   D
Wish that I were a yellow bird I fly away with you
D      D7   G      Em7
But I am not a yellow bird 
A7     Gdim     A7    A7/13  A7 D
So here I sit, nothing else to do
