[Verso 1]
A
I was floatin’ on the sea, when out of nowhere;
A
a head popped up from the water, couldn’t help but stare
D
He was a daffy motherfucker, floatin’ on the water;
A
and I caught the next wave and didn’t think about it further.
E
When I turned back around, and paddled out back
D D7
He was a splishin’ and splashin’ like he was takin’ a bath!
[Refrão]

O hey there bird! Swimmin’ with me

O hey there bird! Out in the sea
D
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me
A
Out here we’re free! Whooooooaaah

So, it wasn’t very long until I realized,
A
this bird couldn’t swim; I could see it in his eyes.

So, I paddled on over, slid my board under, and he hopped on.

Hang on brother, we’re headed in,

Just a few more minutes, you’ll be flying in the wind!!

[Verso 3]
A
Waves passing under; things are goin’ smooth.
A
Where the waves break, we’re comin’ up to and a
D
Big peak is comin’, better hold on tight;
A
‘cause we’re catching a ride, or an unexpected flight!
E
But if we beat the odds, and make it back in,
D D7
we can hang on the beach until you fly again!
[Refrão]

O hey there bird! Swimmin’ with me

Cruised past the breakers now we’re walking on shore;
A
I’m strolling on the beach with this bird up on my board.
D A
People lookin’ at us like they’ve, never seen a surfing fowl!
E
And dryin’ his feathers, safely on shore
D D7
Quoth that thankful raven, “I’ll surf nevermore!”
[Refrão]
A
O hey there bird! Swimmin’ with me
A
O hey there bird! Out in the sea
D
Sharks and the jellies got no problem with me
