[Intro]
D A D
(whistles)
[Verse 1]
D G
Sometimes birds don't have enough to eat
A D
There's not enough food in the fields or the street
D G
There are too many cities where there used to be trees
D A D
So it's left up to you and me
[Chorus]
D G
D A D
(whistles)
D G
The prettiest music you have ever heard
D A D
Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 2]
D G
First, you get some peanut butter out of a jar
A D
And you can buy a bag of bird seed anywhere
D G
You mix it all together and you put it on the ground
D A D
And pretty soon the birds come around
[Chorus]
D G
Everybody loves to hear a bird sing
D A D
(whistles)
D G
The prettiest music you have ever heard
D A D
Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 3]
D G
Some people buy spray and they spray it on the land
A D
They kill all the little bitty bugs that they can
D G
The birds eat the bugs and it makes them sick
D A D
I wish we didn't have to do that
[Chorus]
D G
'cause everybody loves to hear a bird sing
D A D
(whistles)

The prettiest music you have ever heard

Here's how to make friends with a bird
[Verse 4]
D G
Right now, you're young and you're not very tall
A D
You're really very busy and you're really very small
D G
Someday when you're older and things go wrong
D A D
You're gonna need a pretty bird song
[Chorus]
D G
Because everybody loves to hear a bird sing
D A D

D G
The prettiest music you have ever heard

That's how to make friends with a bird
