They didn't like it but they voted it a big whoops and then they didn't do it.
But it doesn't matter because it's a good show, we're all happy tonight, we've got [A] such great artists on.
And now we have got visitors from America coming in now,
and these guys have just gone back to America in actual fact, but they left this film behind.
So for all of you, from all of us here, a fabulous, fantastic B-Y-R-D-S,
The Birds, and here they come with this.
[D] I ain't [A] lookin' [E] to compete [A] with you, [D] beat [A] or cheat [Bm] or [A] mistreat you,
[D]
simplify [A] you, [Em] classify [D] you, deny, [A] defy, [E] or [A] crucify you.
All [D] I really [A] wanna [F#m] do [Bm] [E] is make [D] me be [A] friends with you.
[D] No I [A] ain't lookin' [E] to fight [A] with you, [D] try [A] to you, [E] or uptight [A] with you,
[D] drag [A] you [E] down or [A] bring you down, [D] chain [A] you down [E] or bring [A] you down.
All [D] I really [A] wanna do [F#m] [D] is [E] make [D] me be [A] friends with you.
[D] [G] I don't want
[Bm] to take or shrink or forsake you, I, [Em] I ain't lookin' for [A] you to be like [G] me,
[C] see like me, [F] or be [D] like [F] me.
[D]
I don't [A] want [E] to meet your [A] kin, make you skin [E] or do [A] you in,
[D] or [A] select you, or dissect [D] you, or [A] inspect [E] you, [A] or reject you.
All [D] I really [A] wanna [F#m] do [D] is [E] make [D] me be [A] friends with you.
