Like the birds up in the apple trees, let the wolves hear your simple song.
Is your smile rusty from the tears you weep?
Is your happiness stuck like gum beneath [D] your feet?
Are your hopes locked in a jar in the cellar damp and dark?
[Am] There between the pickles and [G] the beets.
Are you stocked up for a winter of despair?
Waiting for a meteor to burn [D] your hair?
Well if you ever feel the urge to take a breather from your dirge,
here's a little coin for you [G] to keep.
A [C] simple song [G] that your heart can sing,
not [D] too long, [G] rather short and sweet.
[C] Like the birds [G] in the apple trees, let [D] the world hear your [G] simple song.
It begins, it's just a flutter deep in you.
As it grows, you feel some yellow in your [D] blue.
You can run, but you can't hide when a smile begins to rise,
like the Terminator wearing [G] big red shoes.
