[G] [A] [D]
Ghetto Bird, [A] up high in [D] banana tree, Ghetto Bird, [A] you sit all alone [D] like me.
[G] Did your [D] ladybird leave a nest [A] again?
That is very [D] sad, makes me feel so [G] bad.
You can fly [D] away in the sky of [A] rain, you're more lucky [D] than me.
[D] I also had [G] a pretty girl, [A] she's not with me [D] today.
They're all the same, [Em] the pretty [A] girls, they tend the nest, then they fly [D] away.
Ghetto Bird, [A] up high in [D] banana tree, Ghetto Bird, [A] you sit all alone [D] like me.
[G] Better fly [A] away in the sky of rain, take her coming [D] soon, from night to [G] noon.
Like a yellow [D] mule, like a banana [A] too, they might pick [D] you someday.
Wish that I were [G] a yellow bird, [A] I'd fly away [D] with you.
But I am not [Em] a yellow bird, [A] so here I sit, nothing else [D] to do.
Yellow Bird, Yellow Bird, Yellow Bird, Yellow Bird.
Ghetto Bird, [A] up high in [D] banana tree, Ghetto Bird, [A] you sit all alone [D] like me.
[G] Did your [D] ladybird leave a nest [A] again?
That is very [D] sad, makes me feel so [G] bad.
