Am
A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low
     E
The more I play, the more he sings

He lives right up there in the green tree
Singing to me melodies
And in return I play for him

    Am
I played him a song on my piano
                G/B  C       Am     G/B    C
Well, I played real good, I played what I could
   Am G/B C       Am   G/B  C
And in return, he sang for me

Chorus:
    E
He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
    Am
A bird sings outside my piano

Well, I played real good, I played what I could
And in return, he sang for me

Chorus:
He lives right out there in the tree
Giving me his melodies
A bird sings outside my piano

A bird sings outside my piano
Lark of sweet love singing low

He lives right up there in the green tree
Singing to me melodies
The more I play, the more he sings
A bird sings outside my piano.
