[G] _ [N] _ _ _ I give you the sweetheart of the two turtles, her own Sybil [Ab] Vane.

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ The [Ab] [Bb] snow was there [G] _
[Ab] _ _ _ [G] very few, _ when a [Ab] weather [Db]-beaten [Ab] sparrow flew,
A [Fm] [Bb] mansion [Db] window flew, [Eb] _ [Ab] her eye fell [Bb] on a [G] golden cage,
[Ab] A sweet love song [G] she [Eb] heard, [Fm] sung by a [F] pet canary [G] there,
[Eb] A handsome [Bb] yellow [Eb] _ bird.
She said to [Ab] half-miss sparrow, I've [Eb] been struck by [Ab] cupid's arrow,
[G] Will [Bbm] you share my [Db] cage [Ab] with me?
_ _ [Fm] _
[Bb] She looked up at [Cm] his castle, [Bb] with its ribbon and [Cm] its [Bb] tassel,
And [Fm] in plaintive [Bb] tone _ [Eb] said _ [Db] [Eb] she,
_ _ [Ab] Goodbye _ little yellow bird, I'd rather brave [Bbm] the [Eb] cold,
_ [Bbm] On a leafless tree than [Bb] a [D] prisoner be,
_ [Bb] [Ab] In a cage [Eb] _ [Ab] of [Db] gold.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
I gladly introduce you sir, but she's proud, she won't meet anybody.
[B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ Come my delightful dove, [Bb] descend and make a pilgrimage with me [Fm] among these [Ab] mortals.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] That _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] her [Ab] common [Db]
sparrow should [Ab] refuse, [Fm] a [Bb] bird with blood so [Db] blue,
[Eb] _ [Ab] He told her [Bb] the [G] advantages [Ab] of riches and [Eb] of gold,
[Fm] She answered that [F] her liberty [Eb] _ for gold [Gm] could not [Eb] be sold.
_ She said [Ab] I must be going, [Bbm] but he cried no, no [Ab] it's [G] snowing, [Db] and the wintry winds [Ab] do blow. _ _
[Bb] Stay with me [Eb] my little dearie, [Gm] for [Bb] without you it would [Eb] be dreary,
_ [Fm] But she only [Bb] _ _ sighed [Eb] of [Db] no.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ Goodbye _ little yellow bird, I [D] gladly make with [Bbm] [Eb] you,
[Bbm] I love [Eb] you [Bbm] little yellow bird, [D] but I love my [Db] freedom [Eb] too.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ So goodbye little yellow bird, _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bbm] _
On a leafless [Db] tree [Bb] than a prisoner _ be,
[Ab] _ In a _ _ [Db] cage [Eb] of _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ gold.
She's taken with you sir, say the word and I'll take you backstage. _
