May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose Chords by Little Jimmy Dickens

_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _
One fine day as I was [C#] a-walkin' down the [E] street, _
Spied a beggar man with rags upon [B] his feet, _
Took [E] a penny from my pocket, [F#m] in his tin cup I did [Em] drop it,
And I heard him say [G#m] as I made my [E] retreat,
_ May the bird up your nose,
_ May the elephant caress you with [B] his toes,
May [E] your wife be plagued with a runner [A] in her _ hose,
[E] May the bird of paradise fly up your nose. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ My laundry man is really [C#] on [E] his toes,
Found a hundred dollar bill [B] among my clothes,
_ [E] When he called me I came runnin',
Gave [A] him back his dime for phonin',
And [E] I heard him sayin' [B] as I turned [E] to go, _
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose, _
May the elephant caress you [B] with his toes, _
[E] May your wife be plagued with a runner in her [A] hose, _
[E] May the bird [B] of paradise fly [E] up your nose. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
I was way behind one day to catch a train,
The taxi driver said we'll make it just the same,
_ [E] Must be committed with us,
[A] And as he rode out the ticket,
[E] I stood by politely waitin' for a change,
_ May the bird of paradise fly up your nose,
_ May the elephant caress you with his [B] toes,
_ [E] May your wife be plagued with a runner [C#m] _ _ _ in her hose,
May [E] the bird of paradise fly up your nose,
_ May the bird of paradise fly up your nose, _ _ _ _
May your [B] wife be plagued with a runner in her _ [E] hose,
May your wife _
_ _ [A] _ _ be plagued with a runner in her hose. _
