[Ab] [Bb] [C]
[F] [C] [F]
It's up like a bird and [Bb] it's [C] over the [F] city Three men are missing, I hear the water [C] cry
[F] Sure it must have been a [Bb] bird that flew into [C] the prison
[Bb] [C] Or one of these, Euminus, that [F] says, the water in the joy
Early one [Bb] morning as the branchmen they [C] were sleeping
[F] A little helicopter flew [C] across the sky
[F] Down into the yard [Bb] where some prisoners [C] were walking
[Bb] [C] Get ready [F] for [C] inspection says [F] the water in the joy
And it's up like a bird [Bb] and it's [C] over the [F] city
Three men are missing, I hear [C] the water cry
[F] Sure it must have been a bird [Bb] that flew into [C] the prison
[Bb]
[C] Or one of [F] these, [C] Euminus, that says, [F] the water in the joy
Down in the yard [Bb] through the pushin' [C] and the shovin'
[F] Three of the prisoners they climbed [C] upon the board
[F] And up and away [Bb] they went [F] into the grey [Bb] skies
[C] I think [F] there's someone [C] escaping says [F] the water in the joy
And it's up like a bird [Bb] and it's [C] over the city
[F] Three men are missing, I hear the [C] water cry
[F] Sure it must have been a bird [Bb] that flew into the [C] prison
[Bb] Or [C] one of these, Euminus, that says, [F] the water in the joy
Search every hole, [Bb] search every [C] nook and cranny
[F] Let no man rest until these [C] men are found
[F] For this cannot happen [Bb] to a law or [C] another government
[Gm] I [C] think you'll [F] never [C] find them says [F] the water in the joy
And it's up like a bird [Bb] and it's over [C] the city
[F] Three men are missing, I [C] hear the water cry
[F] Sure it must have been a bird [Bb] that flew [C] into the prison
[Bb] Or [C] one of these, Euminus, that says, [F] the water in the joy
Over in the dolls [Bb] they were drinkin' [C] gin and brandy
[F] The Minister for Justice was soakin' [C] up the sun
[F] When came this little message [Bb] that some prisoners [C] had escaped them
[Dm] I [C] think it's three of them told us says [F] the water in the joy
And it's up like a bird [Bb] and it's over [C] the city
[F] Three men are missing, I [C] hear the water cry
[F] Sure it must have been a bird [Bb] that flew into [C] the prison
[Bb] Or [C] one of [F] these, [C] Euminus, that says, [F] the water in the joy
And it's up like a bird [Bb] and it's over [C] the city
[F] Three men are missing, I hear the [C] water cry
[F] Sure it must have been a bird [Bb] that flew into [C] the prison
[Gm] Or one [C] of these, Euminus, that says, the water [F] in the joy
